Note: North Orange County ROP
cannot guarantee that any class primarily serving adults will be
open to adults beyond the current term. This is because
California Education Code 52302.8 requires that ROPs reduce the
number of adults served.

In addition to regular classes, we also offer
fee-based
classes (in a effort to continue serving adults).
Great
Value
High school students pay no registration fees for regular classes.
Materials Fees Some regular (non
fee-based) classes require
materials fees to cover the cost of consumables (something
you use or take home to keep).
If a class has a materials
fee, ALL students are required to pay the fee.
Materials fees are due the first day of class. Materials fee
payments may now be made conveniently online.
ROP Web
Store After students have received
instructions from their teacher, they may have the option of
paying their materials fees online at the North Orange
County ROP Web Store.

Advanced
Placement and College Credit
Certain classes help you earn
advanced placement and/or college credit if you earn an A or B.
Ask your instructor about articulation.
North Orange County Regional Occupational Program has entered
into articulation agreements with several local community
colleges. These agreements permit students who have
completed our programs to enroll in further training at the
community college without having to repeat some of the basics,
and receive college credits for some classes.
The requirements
to receive the advanced placement and/or credits vary by the
individual course. Inquiries should be made with your
instructor to learn the specifics. College processing fees
may apply.
Please see the
course schedule for specific information.

Open-entry Classes
Students may enroll in "open-entry'
classes throughout the semester. A wide variety of courses are offered,
sometimes with on-the-job opportunities. Experienced instructors help
you start and advance through coursework, and some classes have a
self-paced learning environment. Open-entry classes allow you to fit
classes into your busy daily schedule, as training hours are often
flexible.
Class Locations
ROP classes are
held in four facilities and 25 high schools in the
North Orange County region. Additionally, more than 650 local
businesses support ROP with on-site training for ROP students.
ROP afterschool
career-technical magnet programs are designed especially for
career-minded high school students. This is a great opportunity
for your student to begin exploring careers along with students with
similar interests.
