Community Education Instructors

Instructors are responsible for setting the price for their course(s). 50% of enrollment fees are shared with the college and based on the number of students enrolled in your course. Please keep this in mind when setting your course prices. We do our best to ensure that instructors receive a fair compensation while keeping the price of the course as cost-friendly for the students and community as possible.

Instructors are paid at the conclusion of their course. If you have any specific questions regarding compensation, please contact our office at 209.588.5244

It is the responsibility of the instructor to:

• Market and fill their course with students (Columbia College will assist, but the primary responsibility for filling the course lies with the instructor). Failure to meet enrollment needs may result in a course cancellation.
• Abide by Columbia College and Yosemite Community College Districts code of professional conduct while conducting a community education course in partnership with Columbia College. Board policy and procedures can be viewed here. 
• Communicate any changes to course dates, times or locations to community education staff immediately so enrolled students may be notified in a timely manner.
