Taking Courses for Credit Outside of Redwood
Many students are interested in taking elective classes that Redwood does not offer. We encourage students to consider options at the California Community College level, including College of Marin. Students must review the course description, class meeting times, and prerequisites prior to signing up for a class. Each college has it's own process for enrollment that the student must follow.
Students who are not able to attend class in-person are encouraged to look for online California Community College Classes.
