Says low enrollment forces College to drop the credit courses; non-credit classes will be offered

Yavapai Community College announced at the  May 17 Governing Board  meeting that it was ending an award of canine certificates in three areas: Canine Care and Handling, Service Dog Therapy, and Service Dog Team Skills.  Low enrollment was given as the excuse for dropping the certificates.

The College stated that active students will be given the opportunity to complete their certificates over the next year through a teach-out program through Community Education. “The classes will be offered as non-credit and can be converted to credit for certificate completion during the 2022- 2023 academic year.”

These training programs were based at the Chino Valley Center.  The classes “should all continue to be offered through the non-credit platform,” said the College in a brief announcement to the Governing Board.
