Offered by Fremont Union High School District in
collaboration with De Anza Community College
Only junior and senior grade-level students are eligible to take classes at De Anza College during the regular school year. De Anza classes are intended for enrichment purposes only (for college credit only) and will not appear on your high school transcript unless you get written permission from your high school administrator PRIOR to taking a De Anza course. Putting these classes on your high school transcript is not always in your best interest, so talk to your Guidance Counselor or Assistant Principal if this is something you are considering.
The cost per quarter is $36 (may change without notice). This fee does not include books, lab fees, or parking.
Payment may be made online at the De Anza website or in person at the Cashier's window in the Student and Community Services Building http://www.deanza.edu/map/ on the De Anza College campus.
