- We have a YESplus course this Spring Quarter! You have two choices and both require you to fill out this application.
OPTION 1: YESPLUS FOR CREDIT
- 1-unit course is MED 130 available on Axess; a quarter-long 1x/week class with a mini-retreat included.
We meet Thursday evenings 8:00pm - 9:30pm (on Axess it says we start at 7pm, you can ignore that)
Class dates
Thursday, April 3rd 8pm - 9:30pm
Thursday, April 10th, 8pm-9:30pm
Thursday, April 17th; 8pm - 9:30pm

AND
These are the mandatory dates for the mini-retreat:
- Friday, April 18th; 6:30pm - 10:00pm
Saturday, April 19th; 12pm - 5pm
Sunday, April 20th; 12 pm - 5pm
If you cannot take this retreat, you cannot take the course this quarter (unless you are a repeater)
OPTION 2: YESPLUS 4-DAY WORKSHOP FOR NO-CREDIT
- This is a condensed option - a non-credit course, still held on campus.
Thursday, April 17th; 8:00pm - 9:30pm
Friday, April 18th; 6:30pm - 10:00pm
Saturday, April 19th; 12pm - 5pm
Sunday, April 20th; 12 pm - 5pm
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS?
- In Option 1: MED 130 you get credit. In the 4-day workshop, you don't. In MED 130, we also focus on you sustaining the techniques you've learned throughout the entire quarter. You also have continued community to support you. We highly recommend MED 130. However, the 4-day workshop might work better for your schedule. It's still a great option!
HOW TO APPLY
- As mentioned, in either case, you need to fill out this application.
