Non-Credit Program

Merced Tri-College Center/Noncredit Program
The Noncredit Program is located at the Merced Tri-College Center on the college campus (entrance off of "G" Street - View Campus Map).

More than two hundred classes are offered each session at 33 sites throughout Merced County and the surrounding area. More than 6000 students take advantage of noncredit classes to improve their quality of life in a variety of ways. Classes are offered to assist students seeking employment, relearning skills, meeting current job requirements, physical fitness, and personal enrichment.

Registration
Noncredit classes are offered to the community with no registration fee. Residents age 16 and older may enroll in most noncredit classes. Registration takes place in class during the student's first class meeting. However, seating is limited for some classes; please call the noncredit office at (209) 381-6540 to reserve a seat in classes that indicate that pre-registration is required.

Attendance
Although the attendance at the first class meeting is strongly recommended, students may begin a noncredit class at any point in the semester.

Call (209) 381-6540 for further information.
