PRINCIPAL’S CERTIFICATION FOR CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT

Section 1. Section 48800 of the Education Code: 48800. (a) The governing board of a school district may determine which pupils would benefit from advanced

scholastic or vocational work. The intent of this section is to provide educational enrichment opportunities for a limited number of eligible pupils, rather than

to reduce current course requirements of elementary and secondary schools. The governing board may authorize those pupils, upon recommendation of the

principal of the pupil’s school of attendance, and with parental consent, to attend a community college during any session or term as special part-time or full-

time students and to undertake one or more courses of instruction offered at the community college level. (b) If the governing board denies a request for a

special part-time or full-time enrollment at a community college for any session or term for a pupil who is identified as highly gifted, the board shall issue its

written recommendation and the reasons for the denial within 60 days. The written recommendation and denial shall be issued at the next regularly scheduled

board meeting that falls at least 30 days after the request has been submitted. (c) The students shall receive credit for community college courses that they

complete at the level determined appropriate by the school district and community college district governing boards. (d) The principal of a school may only

recommend a pupil for community college summer session if that pupil meets all the following criteria: (1) Demonstrates adequate preparation in the discipline

to be studied. (2) Exhausts all opportunities to enroll in an equivalent course, if any, at his or her school of attendance. (3) For any particular grade level, a

principal may not recommend for community college summer session attendance more than 5 percent of the total number of pupils who completed that grade

immediately prior to the time of recommendation. (4) Notwithstanding Article 3 (commencing with Section 33050) of Chapter 1 of Part 20, compliance with

this subdivision may not be waived.

Section 2. Section 48800.5 of the Education Code: 48800.5 (a) A parent or guardian of a pupil, regardless of the pupil’s age or class level, may petition of the

governing board of the school district in which the pupil is enrolled to authorized the attendance of the pupil at a community college as a special full-time

student on the ground that the pupil would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work that would thereby be available. If the governing board denies

the petition, the pupil’s parent or guardian may file an appeal with the county board of education, which shall render a final decision on the petition in writing

within 30 days. (b) A pupil who attends a community college as a special full-time student pursuant to this section is exempt from compulsory school attendance

under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 46100) of Part 26. (c) A parent or guardian of a pupil who is not enrolled in a public school may directly petition the

president of any community college to authorize the attendance of the pupil at the community college as a special part-time or full-time student on the ground

that the pupil would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work that would thereby be available. (d) Any pupil authorized to attend a community

college as a special full-time student shall, nevertheless, be required to undertake courses of instruction of a scope and duration sufficient to satisfy the

requirements of law. (e) For purposes of allowances and apportionments from the State School Fund, a community college shall be credited with additional

units of average daily attendance attributable to the attendance of special full-time students at the community college.

Section 3. Section 48802 of the Education Code: 48802. (a) For purposes of allowances and apportionments from Section B of the State School Fund, a

community college shall be credited with additional units of average daily attendance attributable to the attendance of pupils at the community college as

special part-time students pursuant to this article and as set forth in Section 76002. (b) A school district whose pupils attend a community college as special

part-time students pursuant to this article shall, for purposes of allowances and apportionments from Section A of the State School Fund, continue to receive

credit for attendance by those pupils computed in the manner prescribed by law, and a pupil’s attendance at school for the minimum school day shall be

deemed a day of attendance for purposes of making the computation.

Career Advanced Placement (CAP) Acknowledgement

Dear Career Advanced Placement (CAP) Student,

You are registering for a college class. There are a few things you need to know about college credit classes. This is

a limited program geared toward educational enrichment not remediation.

• You will be receiving college credits for this class whether or not you choose to use it toward high school

graduation. This means that you will have a college transcript listing the class or classes that you are taking and

the grades that you receive. You are establishing a permanent record with the college.

• You are required to attend class until the end of the semester unless you decide to drop the class online prior

to the deadline identified in the schedule of classes. The drop deadline is set when 75% of the course has been

completed or 10% of the course if less than a full-semester course. You will receive a “W” grade when you drop

after the first two weeks of a full semester or after the first week of the summer session. Please read class

section details listed in WebAdvisor (Online Records) for important refund and drop deadlines.

• Be sure to attend all classes. Material covered in college courses is at a faster pace than high school classes.

Expect to spend twice as much time outside of class as you do in class completing assignments and homework.

• The Enrollment Fee is waived for students who are in grades 9-12 and who are enrolled less than full time at

Santiago Canyon College (less than 12 units for Fall/Spring semesters and less than 6 units for Summer session).

If the student is enrolled full time at SCC, the student will be charged the current enrollment fee for all units.

Students must also pay all other college fees.

• Students who are currently enrolled in grades K-8 are required to pay enrollment fee and all other college fees.

• The enrollment fee is $46 per unit. All concurrently enrolled students are charged health fees.

Santa Ana and Santiago Canyon Colleges maintain open campuses. Students function under Standards of Student

Conduct (Board Policy 5201), and there is an expectation that adult behavior will be displayed by students on campus.

Academic honesty is a requirement and sanctions are identified in course overviews which are distributed by faculty

on the first day of class. Students are responsible for their own transportation and materials on campus.

College students receive priority for registration. Under the California Code of Regulations, title 5, section 58108

“a district may establish a priority registration system which would accord adult students higher registration priority”.

Therefore, high school students are only able to register during their assigned registration time during the week prior

to the start of the term.

The transcript information is confidential and is only accessible by the student. All student record information is

confidential and not accessible to parents or guardians.
