Noncredit Courses

Welcome to the Extended Learning Program at Norco College. The Extended Learning Program offers noncredit, tuition-FREE courses and certificates at no cost.

This professional development opportunity is designed to support students in obtaining the skills and knowledge to get a job, get a better job, or transition to college credit education. These courses focus on helping students build specific skills that are necessary for reaching their individual goals.

All 18-year-old or older individuals in the community are welcome to take noncredit courses, regardless of their residency status.

You have the option to enroll in the required courses to complete a certificate or take a stand-alone course. View the most updated class schedule here.

To enroll in Extended Learning (noncredit) classes only, complete the Noncredit Norco College Application. Completing the regular Norco College application allows enrollment in both noncredit and credit classes.

Click on a section below to view the steps to complete enrollment. If you need help or assistance, please use our website Live Chat, call or text : (951) 336-1883, or visit the Engagement Center in the Science & Technology (ST) building in room 107/108.

Step 1: Apply for Admission Online

Complete the Noncredit Norco College Application. Applications are typically processed within two business days.

This application does not ask for a student's SSN or TIN number. No residency, citizenship, documentation, or age limits apply, and all Extended Learning courses are tuition-free.

Step 2: Receive Your Welcome Email and Register for Classes

Once your application has been processed (usually after 2 business days), a Welcome Email will be sent to the email you provided on the application that includes your student email and student ID number. If you did not receive your welcome email, please check your junk/spam folder, as it is common for your email to be sent there.
After you receive your Welcome Email, please fill out this quick form to register for noncredit (Extended Learning) courses, and our Admissions & Records team will enroll you. Please note that we can only register you for classes after your registration date (more information on registration dates can be found here).

Norco College Noncredit Registration Form
