MICROCOMPUTER CENTER
Fall 2008
Community Services offers a wide arrangement of computer courses that you can use
to begin and/or continue your education. They are designed to offer exposure to a specific program or application
rather than to build skills. Classes are offered at a variety of times throughout the quarter for your convenience.
If you wish to build skills, College of Marin offers credit classes. The goal of
these classes is to provide in-depth understanding of the subject through textbook study, homework and lab assignments.
Credit Classes are graded, and you can work toward a certificate or associate degree. For more information, please
refer to the Credit Schedule.

Hands-on Computer Classes General Information:
Community Services computer workshops are three to sixteen hours long. Hands-on workshops are
small and offer one-on-one instruction and are designed to offer exposure to a specific program or application
rather than to build skills. Classes are offered at a variety of times throughout the quarter for your convenience.
There is no homework and no grades. All classes are taught with one student per computer.
*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*:
You are expected to have:
- Windows proficiency before enrolling in any PC application class.
- Mac proficiency before enrolling in any Mac application class.
Wait-listed people will be admitted 30 minutes after a class starts if space is available. Please review the sections on "Attendance at First Class Meeting"
and "Refunds" before registering.
On the Indian Valley Campus, the Internet Café is located in the Administrative Services cluster, building #12, and offers complementary coffee and tea, as well as edibles for purchase, Monday through Thursday, 8:30am-7:00pm, and Fridays, 8:30 am-12noon. It is two miles to the nearest eatery, so if you are coming during off hours, we recommend that you bring something to eat and drink
