Enrollment Information
UCSC Extension offers open enrollment, and students may take one course or an entire certificate. Enrolling in a course is a simple process based on your preferences and needs; however, some courses have prerequisites that provide a foundation for a complete learning experience.Pre-Enroll and Save!
Save 10% on courses when you enroll more than 14 days before the first day of class.
Early registration helps ensure you a spot in the class you want, and helps avoid cancellation of classes as a result of lack of enrollment. UCSC Extension is completely self-supporting, and must cancel classes that do not draw a minimum enrollment. Please, no auditing.
