Learn ESL – FREE – at De Anza!
If English isn't your first language, De Anza's English as a Second Language (ESL) program can help you achieve your goals!
De Anza is offering TUITION-FREE noncredit courses for students who are learning English as a second language and want to improve their ability to understand, speak, read and write in English.
- These classes can help you communicate better at home, at work and in the community.
- Noncredit courses do not count toward a college degree or academic certificate, but they can be a first step to entering and succeeding in college!
- A noncredit course can also satisfy requirements for taking a lower-level course so you can advance to a higher level of ESL.
Same Policies and Requirements
All requirements and policies for noncredit classes are exactly the same as credit classes – including course content, assignments, grading and attendance.
Noncredit students are expected to come to every class, study and do homework just like credit students.
