Dual Enrollment

• All dual enrollment students may enroll in up to 11.5 units for fall and spring and 6 units for summer.

Appeals for Students in Middle or Elementary Schools:

Students in middle or elementary schools may appeal to attend. The school must provide transcripts and a letter signed by the principal indicating how in his or her opinion the student can benefit from instruction. The Vice President of Student Services will determine if the student is highly gifted and has the abilities and sufficient preparation to benefit from instruction at a community college, and that the student’s safety and that of others will not be affected. The decision of the Vice President of Student Services shall be final. Once a decision is made the student, parent/guardian, and the school principal shall be informed.

The determination may be done by applying one or more of the following options:

 

• A review of the materials submitted by the student;
• Meeting with the student and his/her parent or guardian;
• Consultation with Instructional Deans, Dean of Enrollment Services and Management, or Dean of Counseling;
• Consideration of the welfare and safety of the student and others;
• Consideration of local, state, and/or federal laws;
• Review of the content of the class in terms of sensitivity and possible effects on the minor;
• Requirements for supervision of the minor; and/or
• Times the class(es) meet and the effect on the safety of the minor.
