UC Irvine may take up summer residence at Orange Coast College,

offering extension courses on their campus during the summer 2003

benefit, OCC officials have begun compiling a list of courses they’d

be willing to offer, as well as the overall cost for each one. UCI

officials will decide which classes will be taught and by whom.

Course credit will be given through UCI only.
