Class Schedules - Browse by Term
Hot Tip! Some courses do not require students to buy textbooks. If you see a ZTC symbol or crossed out dollar sign while browsing classes, there are no textbook or digital material costs. You may have to pay for lab or art supplies, if required.
*New* What is the Common Course Numbering System?
Starting in Fall 2025, thanks to the Common Course Numbering (CCN) System, courses with the same content will now have the same number across all community colleges. No more guessing if your course will transfer correctly—it's all aligned!
