The DSPS offers both credit and non-credit courses and programs each semester. Many students simultaneously take DSPS classes and mainstream classes--the former sometimes helps students succeed in the latter.

The DSPS also sponsors programs that address the needs of individuals with particular disabilities. Please see the listing of non-credit programs below for examples.

All DSPS classes are open to everyone, with or without a disability. The DSPS class schedule is also available in the printed schedule distributed throughout the city and additional information is available from the DSPS offices at the Ocean and John Adams campuses.
