How the Program Works

Step 1

Apply for admission and get your date and time to register.

Step 2

Students are advised to take Counseling 100. In this class you will set up an educational plan with a college counselor to accomplish your academic goals. You will learn how to make this program work around your busy schedule. You will also learn about all the resources available to you as a De Anza student.

WEEKEND COLLEGEplus counselors are available during regular business hours and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Once your educational plan is set up, you have the flexibility to take any combination of classes offered—traditional face-to-face, weekend, evening, online or self-paced.

Step 3

Find the classes you would like to take on the De Anza online searchable schedule page. Students register for their classes four times a year — fall, winter, spring and summer. Assistance with registration is provided to students who have completed Counseling 100. The registration fee for WEEKEND COLLEGEplus classes is the same as it is for all other classes at De Anza.

Step 4

Pay for your courses within five days. Financial aid is available to students who qualify.

Step 5

Attend classes! Please note that some online classes have face-to-face orientations that you must attend. Check with the Distance Learning department for times and location.
