About ENCORE
ENCORE is a Pierce College program designed specifically
for older adults in our community. ENCORE offers free noncredit
classes and fee-based, not for credit classes.
Courses address the educational needs and interests of
older adults, focusing on topics that promote independence,
advocacy, community engagement, self-maintenance, personal
growth and development, physical and cognitive
health, economic self-sufficiency and includes subject
matter that relates to older adults’ life circumstances and
positive aging.
ENCORE Noncredit Classes generally meet for
2 hours a week for 15 weeks during the Fall and Spring semesters
and for 5 weeks during the Winter and Summer
semesters. Classes are free, curriculum based and funded
through Sacramento. The number of noncredit classes offered through
ENCORE are contingent on hours allotted to ENCORE by the
college. Students enrolled in ENCORE noncredit classes are
Pierce College students in a noncredit program. Students
may enroll at any time throughout the semester, if space is
available.
ENCORE Fee-based Not for Credit Classes generally meet for 3-6 weeks in order to make classes affordable.
Classes have a nominal fee and are self supporting.
They require a separate registration process and there
are no refunds unless student shows proof of jury duty or
illness. Minimum enrollment must be met by the deadline in
order to avoid class cancellation. Maximum class limits are
set in order to make for a more personal experience. There
are no student adds or drops once classes start due to limited
staff support.
