OEI Course Exchange
![]()
The purpose of the Online Education Initiative (OEI) Course Exchange is to provide access to some classes that may not be available when you need them at Foothill. The goal is to help you complete your educational goals in a timely manner. All courses offered in the exchange are fully online.
Is the course exchange for me?
- Do you need an additional class this quarter that is not being offered at Foothill?
- Are you having trouble enrolling in that one necessary prerequisite class quarter after quarter?
- Would completing that one required class help you to speed up your ability to graduate or transfer?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions...
You might want to check out opportunities to enroll in online courses across the California Community College system through the OEI Course Exchange.
