Students will be required to use this ID number for all services with the college. This number is also printed on the Student ID card which is used to  access the library and other student services.

Basic skills courses are NOT available to concurrently enrolled students. Concurrent Enrollment is designed for students who can benefit from advanced academic and vocational courses. The high school principal, or designee, decides which student qualifies to participate by completing the Special Admit Form. This form identifies the specific college courses that may be taken. Students may enroll in up to 11 units although it is highly recommended that students take no more than 6 units in a semester.
