What Is LinC?
Ghania, Neena and Marta became friends while taking a LinC course in 2021. Meet more LinC students below!
A Community of Learning
The purpose of a learning community is to promote student success by offering a better way to learn.
We learn naturally by making connections between different ideas and experiences.
In learning communities, we integrate two or more subjects to create a better and easier understanding of both.
You work with the same community of students in the linked classes, helping each other succeed and making friends along the way. With some common readings and assignments, you learn more and complete more units — with less stress.
A LinC Learning Community Is
- An innovative approach to learning designed for student success
- Two or more classes linked together with a common theme, content and materials
- A group of students and instructors working collaboratively in a friendly, supportive atmosphere
- Open to all De Anza students
The LinC program at De Anza College is offered through the Equity and Engagement Division.

Meet Some LinC Students!
Fatima Ahmed says taking LinC courses "helped me balance out my heavy course load by combining assignments and readings.
Even though it was online, I formed a close bond with many of my classmates!"
Here's How LinC Works
LinC courses allow you to explore the connection between two different areas of study. They are open to anyone to enroll in.- LinC courses are linked together in the registration system and you must register for both course sections listed.
- You can find LinC courses in the schedule of classes with the letter D in the section number, along with a footnote in the course description that says: "This course is part of the Learning in Communities program (LinC) and requires concurrent enrollment."
