There are no fees for CCR classes.

The program addresses the needs of adults who do not have a high school diploma or who want to improve their literacy skills. There are four comprehensive programs designed to help students at various levels gain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency, including programs to assist students who are parents become full partners in the educational development of their children, and programs to assist in the completion of a high school credential.
The four programs offered are Adult Basic Education (ABE), Adult High School (AHS), English as a Second Language (ESL), and High School Equivalency (HSE).
Students with disabilities are served in all four programs, as appropriate, based upon their assessment scores.
Classes are available day and evening, on and off campus.
