News release
With multiple sessions running from June 8 to Aug. 15, the College of the Canyons summer semester will offer more than 590 class sections across a wide range of academic subjects and disciplines, the college announced in a news release.
The four summer sessions will offer students a variety of options in class formats to help them achieve their educational goals, from starting a new career, earning an associate degree, to transferring to a four-year university.
“We are excited to offer a summer session that gives students flexible options designed to support their individual pathways to success,” David Vakil, interim assistant superintendent and vice president of instruction at the college, said in the release. “Summer classes help students stay on track, build momentum toward completion, and make meaningful progress on their academic goals before the fall semester begins.”
Courses will be offered at both the Valencia and Canyon Country campuses, as well as an entire online-only session.
The four summer sessions are scheduled as follows:
• The first five-week session runs June 8 to July 11
• An eight-week session starts June 15 and ends Aug. 11
• A five-week session with all online classes will run from June 22 to July 25.
• A final five-week session will be offered from July 13 to Aug. 15.
High school juniors and seniors can take advantage of summer classes to earn college and high school credit while taking classes at COC with waived enrollment fees, the release said.
For all other students, summer 2026 enrollment fees are $46 per unit.
In addition, the School of Personal and Professional Learning is offering more than 120 sections of career skills and lifelong learning classes to residents of all ages and skill levels, at no cost.
