BP 6172.1 — CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN COLLEGE CLASSES

Instruction BP 6172.1(a)

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN COLLEGE CLASSES

The Board of Education desires to provide opportunities for eligible District students to
enroll concurrently in courses offered at postsecondary institutions in order to foster
individual student achievement, increase opportunities for students to complete college
preparatory course requirements and/or participate in Career Technical Education (CTE),
and prepare students for a smooth transition into college by providing exposure to the
collegiate environment.

(cf. 6143 - Courses of Study)
(cf. 6172 - Gifted and Talented Student Program)
(cf. 6178 - Career Technical Education)
(cf. 6178.2 - Regional Occupational Center/Program)

When it is determined that the postsecondary course in which the student intends to enroll
is substantially equivalent to a course provided by the District, the student may receive
credit toward high school graduation requirements in addition to credit received from the
college.
(cf. 6146.1 - High School Graduation Requirements)
(cf. 6146.11 - Alternative Credits Toward Graduation)

Approval of Concurrent Enrollment

The Superintendent or designee may approve a limited number of students of any age or
grade level to apply for part-time or full-time concurrent enrollment in a community college
or four-year college when it is determined to be in the student's best interest and the
student is adequately prepared for such coursework.

Upon recommendation of the principal and with parent/guardian consent, the
Superintendent or designee may authorize a student to attend a community college
during any session or term as a special part-time or full-time student and to undertake
one or more courses of instruction offered at the community college level. (Education
Code 48800)

Within the enrollment limits and exceptions allowed by law, the principal may recommend
a student for community college summer session if that student demonstrates adequate
preparation in the discipline to be studied and exhausts all opportunities to enroll in an
equivalent course, if any, at the school of attendance. (Education Code 48800)

Student's parent/guardian, regardless of the student’s age or grade level, may petition
the Superintendent or designee to authorize special full-time attendance at a community
college on the ground that the student would benefit from advanced scholastic or career
technical work that would be available. (Education Code 48800.5)

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN COLLEGE CLASSES (cont.)

If the Superintendent or designee denies a request for special part-time or full-time
enrollment at a community college for a student who is identified as highly gifted and
talented, the Superintendent or designee shall issue its written recommendation and the
reasons for the denial within 30 days after the request has been submitted. (Education
Code 48800, 48800.5)

The Superintendent or designee may authorize a student who is pursuing a high school
diploma or a high school equivalency certificate through an adult education program,
upon recommendation of the administrator of the student's adult school, to attend a
community college during any session or term as a special part-time student. (Education
Code 52620)

College and Career Access Pathways Partnerships

The Board may enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership
Agreement with the board of a community college district for the purpose of offering or
expanding dual enrollment opportunities for students. The agreement shall be approved
at an open public board meeting, with an opportunity for public input provided prior to the
board taking action. If the CCAP agreement provides for CTE pathways, the board shall
consult with and consider input from appropriate local workforce board(s) to determine
the extent to which the pathways are aligned with regional and statewide employment
needs. (Education Code 76004)

Program Evaluation

The Superintendent or designee shall regularly report to the Board regarding the number
of District students participating in the concurrent enrollment option, their success in
completing in college preparatory course (“A-G” COURSES) and postsecondary courses,
and any impact on their achievement in District courses and graduation rates.
