Noncredit Matriculation & Counseling








What is Noncredit Matriculation & Counseling?
The purpose of noncredit matriculation and counseling is to ensure access to appropriate
programs, student services, and designated noncredit courses to all students who can
benefit; to facilitate the successful completion of student educational goals; and
to enable students to transition into the workforce.
In 1997-98 the state legislature enacted new legislation (AB 1542, AB 107) which extended
the provisions of matriculation to students enrolled in designated noncredit classes,
courses and programs, and appropriated a budget allocation to this effort.

Counselor Spotlight

Jose Millan
Noncredit Counselor
"I truly enjoy working as a counselor in the Community Education Program at Allan Hancock College. A highlight of my professional career is when our program hosts a graduation ceremony for our noncredit students; students who have earned an ESL certificate, GED or a computer certificate. It is extremely gratifying to see our students recognized for their hard work and to have their family and support system join them in this accomplishment."
