Spring 2021 Registration Now Open
Registration has begun for the College of the Canyons Spring 2021 semester, which
will run from Monday, Feb. 8 to Thursday, June 3.
Students and community members can choose from more than 1,700 class sections in a
wide range of academic subjects and career education disciplines.
Class sections include courses that most students need to either graduate, transfer
to a four-year school and/or meet prerequisites.
“It’s hard to believe that it has been almost a year since the college transitioned
to providing almost all of our instruction through distance education,” said Dr. Omar
Torres, chief instructional officer at the college. “The spring 2021 schedule of
classes has been created with the needs of our students in mind and with the flexibility
required to succeed academically during this pandemic.”
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, classes will be held in three different
formats:
- OnlineLive – These classes will be held via Zoom on the days and times listed on the class schedule. Students will not be able to register for two classes at the same time.
- Online – These classes will not meet live. They give students the flexibility to complete instruction at their convenience.
- InPerson – These classes require in-person instruction. Strict health protocols will be followed for safety.
Registration for the spring semester will be ongoing at both the Valencia and Canyon
Country campuses until classes are full.
Enrollment fees at all 116 California Community Colleges will remain at $46 per unit
for California residents, as mandated by the state.
The schedule also features 130 free classes offered through the college’s School of
Personal and Professional Learning (PPL), which includes three new acting courses.
The course “Business of Acting” (NC.THTR-060) examines acting as a business and presents
approaches to becoming a working professional in the entertainment industry, including
marketing materials, representation, audition/submission announcements, professionalism.
The course is the first in the two-course certificate program designed to bridge academic
acting training and the professional acting business. The second course, “Auditioning
Skills for Actors” (NC.THTR-061) will be offered in the summer.
The other two new PPL courses are “Creative Expression Through Acting for Older Adults”
(NC.OAD-008) and “Autobiographical Storytelling Through The One Person Show for Older
Adults”(NC.OAD-009).
PPL classes are free, open to the public, and offered OnlineLIVE. Students may apply
