Footnote:
DMT-396.-01: On campus face to face class meets two days a week beginning January 6th. 1. This class mirrors the for-credit class of the same number (396 mirrors 96), so the course description is the same. 2. Non-credit courses are intended for students who want to gain general knowledge, learn a new skill, upgrade existing skills, or enrich their understanding of a wide range of topics. 3. Non-credit courses cannot be used to earn an associate degree nor any college transcriptable certificates. They can, however, be used to earn non-transcriptable vocational certificates. 4. This is a 12-week class, meeting fully ON-CAMPUS, as noted in the course listing. See www.deanza.edu/dmt or email DMT@DeAnza.edu for more info.
