Community College Concurrent Enrollment
California high school students can concurrently enroll in community college courses for FREE! Students are required to pay for parking (if needed), course materials, books, and health fees.
- In general students should choose courses which allow you to explore your college major or personal interests and which are not offered at HMSA.
- Concurrent enrollment IS NOT FOR CREDIT RECOVERY. Community colleges have rules that prohibit students from taking courses in subject areas where the student has received a grade below "C," and actually grades of A's and B's in that subject area would be preferable. This rule establishes your preparedness to succeed in a college level course for that subject area.
- Credit courses are college courses and will remain on the student's permanent record even if the secondary school uses the coursework for high school credit.
STEP 1: Complete an online Application for Admission and then return the completed Concurrent Enrollment Form to the colleges' admissions office.
