Welcome to the Emeritus College web page
If you have any questions feel free to email us at emeritus@dvc.edu or call 925-685-1230 ext. 2388. Office hours have been reduced due to budget cuts. We will be in the office Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. You can leave a message at any time and we will get back to you.
We are often asked the following:
Q – Can I take classes at any location?
A – Yes
Q – Why do you need to register ahead of time?
A – Instructors need to know how many handouts to prepare; staff needs to be sure we haven't oversold the room capacity; and if we need to cancel a class we need to know who to contact.
Q – Why is there a fee for classes?
A – Our program is a fee based one. This means all of our expenses, instructor salaries, brochure printing, staff hours, mailing and supplies need to be cover by student fees and fundraisers. We receive no outside funding.
Thank you,
Jo Mele, Emeritus College Executive Director
