Get ahead this summer: Earn college credits in 8 weeks at YVC
Summer courses at Yakima Valley College offer a flexible, convenient and affordable opportunity for individuals looking to achieve their professional or personal goals.
During Summer Quarter, YVC offers a wide range of asynchronous online classes, which do not have a specific meeting day or time, so that you can learn from anywhere and study when it’s most convenient for you. Some online courses meet during specific days and times.
Summer Quarter 2021 begins June 28 and ends August 17, meaning you’ll be able to earn college credits in only eight weeks, faster than the standard 10-week courses offered during other quarters at YVC. Learn more about YVC summer course options and select “Browse Courses” or “Browse Distribution” to view offerings by subject.
Summer Quarter registration takes place on a first-come, first-served basis and students can register through the second day of the quarter, June 29. Individuals who are not current YVC students can register online.
Transferrable Classes & Job-Specific Training
Community college classes can seamlessly transfer to a four-year university, so taking YVC summer courses to fulfill prerequisites at another school can save you money on tuition and fees. Or, if you’re looking to make a career change and want to get training for an in-demand job right away, YVC offers dozens of professional-technical programs that can prepare you for a career that pays well.
Funding Available
Continuing your education is an investment that doesn’t have to break the bank. YVC offers a variety of financial aid options, including for students who are unemployed, underemployed or low-income, as well as those who are looking to re-enter the workforce or train for an entirely new career. Yakima Valley College offers a full-service financial aid office with experienced staff to help guide you. Learn more about funding options at YVC.
Reduced Cost for Seniors
Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, who are Washington state residents can take advantage of the Gold Card Program at YVC.

Gold Card participants may enroll on the third day of the quarter or when the class has met at least once, whichever is later. Learn more about the Gold Card Program.
