How is Noncredit Different
from Credit?
• Open entry/open exit (Student can start anytime
during the semester.)
• Non-repeatability issues do not apply to
noncredit
• Classes are free for students
• Students can progress at their own pace, but
that does not mean they do not receive direct
instruction
• Noncredit is funded at a lesser rate than credit,
but it is also less expensive to administer a
noncredit class
