We want you to be successful in your pursuit of a college education. Too often, students find the cost of college a challenge. Even with financial aid, grants, or scholarships, some students find that textbook costs are out of reach. Recently, College of Alameda has begun implementing a program allowing us to offer some classes with zero cost for textbooks. Instead of textbooks, a number of our innovative faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) and Zero-Textbook-Cost (ZTC) materials for their courses. Students enrolled in ZTC courses will use high-quality free resources instead of textbooks. These new ZTC classes will offer our students significant cost savings. Currently, College of Alameda offers ZTC courses in a variety of subject areas, including math, communications, geography, English, physics and more. Courses that offer ZTC can be found by looking in the class notes section of the course descriptions for the following information: “Cost Cutter Alert: This course section uses only zero-cost course materials. Course materials are provided digitally free of charge. Printed materials are sometimes available for purchase.” If you search online for classes, ZTC logo look for the ZTC logo. We also have some great news for Alameda high school students interested in applying for an Alameda Promise scholarship. College of Alameda now has a Joint Admission Guarantee program with Mills College. This new partnership will provide a pathway for Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) students to begin their college career at College of Alameda and then transition to Mills College. Eligible College of Alameda Promise women and gender non-binary students with a 3.2 GPA may apply for a +$7000 Mills-Alameda Promise scholarship. Those qualifying students can begin earning credits towards a Mills College bachelor’s degree while they are working on their community college associate degrees at CoA. For more information, see the inside back cover of this class schedule. At College of Alameda, our focus is on your success. Students from all walks of life are welcome to enroll here. As a student, you will find high quality instruction and a variety of free support services to help you achieve your education goals. I hope that you will join us this summer and fall.
