Take College Classes, Tuition-Free
Explore Your Interests While You Earn College Credit
What is CCAP?
CCAP stands for College and Career Access Pathways — a partnership between De Anza College and your high school district.
With this program, you can take designated classes in a variety of subjects. Check your school district's page to see the classes:
Classes are taught by De Anza College faculty members and provide college credit that in many cases is transferable to CSU or UC.
Depending on the school district, courses may provide high school and college credit.
The partnership allows high school students in the participating district to take classes tuition-free. All required textbooks and materials are also loaned free-of-charge.
Most classes are taught at the high schools or online, while some are taught on the De Anza campus.
Registration steps, course pathways and offerings vary per school district. Check your school district's CCAP webpage, below, for details.
