When a class is labeled as ZTC (Zero Textbook Cost) that means any required textbook can be accessed online for free, or that there isn't a required textbook assigned for the class. Students will not be required to purchase a textbook for the class.
The college is required by the State to label all ZTC sections in the class schedule (SB 1359).
Students can now complete general education, certificates, and entire degrees by enrolling in ZTC classes!
Please be aware there might be other fees associated with courses, e.g., calculator, safety goggles, etc.
Textbook and materials cost under $40 per course.
