Footnote:
CIS-344A-62Z: Fully ONLINE. This noncredit class mirrors the credit class of the same number (CIS 344A mirrors CIS 44A), therefore the course descriptions are the same. Noncredit courses cannot be used to earn an associate degrees nor any college transcriptable certificates and are not transferable. They may, however, be used to obtain a non-credit certificate when offered. For information about noncredit classes access https://www.deanza.edu/noncredit. This is an online lecture, laboratory class. The lecture and lab do not have scheduled meetings and can be completed independently each week on the student's own time. Students must have access to a computer, the internet and an individual email address. Most De Anza classes will use the Canvas course management system. We recommend a laptop or desktop computer to successfully complete the course; a tablet or phone may not be adequate for all assignments and tests. Information about Canvas and Online Education Orientation can be found in Canvas on the Student Resources page: https://deanza.instructure.com/courses/3382.
