HELLO SPRING!
The 2026 Spring Semester is coming soon. Get started on a new career path, learn English, finish your diploma, develop your parenting skills, and more! 2026 Spring Semester registration begins on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, for emeritus/older adults classes and Wednesday, December 3, 2025, for all other classes.
NOCE’s 2026 Spring Semester class schedule is now available online, with physical copies at all three NOCE Centers, and is currently distributed to North Orange County residents.
New this 2026 Spring:
New this semester is the Hyflex modality that NOCE is piloting for several English as a Second Language classes. Hyflex – which stands for “hybrid flexible” – allows students to choose their method of instruction for each class session: in-person or online, with both offered simultaneously during the same class.
With Hyflex, NOCE’s students are granted flexibility in their learning. Additionally, NOCE will offer several dozen online courses in the high school diploma program, a new online Mobile Information Literacy course through the Emeritus Program, and a new Parenting Program class, Nature’s Nurture.
Mark your calendars for these important dates:
