High School Dual Enrollment (Special Admit) Expectations and Responsibilities

Special Admit Enrollment

  • Section 48800 of the California Education Code allows the governing board of any school district to determine which students would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work. The intent of this section of the California Education Code is to provide educational enrichment opportunities for a limited number of eligible pupils, rather than reduce current course requirements of elementary and secondary schools.
  • High School students may NOT enroll in English 300 level courses regardless of assessment results.
  • Santa Rosa Junior College interprets “advanced scholastic” coursework as those courses designated as degree applicable (DA) in the SRJC Catalog https://catalog.santarosa.edu/.
  • Students who have completed the eighth grade or higher are eligible for dual enrollment as “special admit” students at SRJC.
  • Santa Rosa Junior College reserves the right to exclude or limit enrollment of special admit students into impacted programs and other programs or courses based on health, safety, instructional methodology, faculty constraints, or legal requirements.
  • Students enrolling in Kinesiology (PE) activity courses are subject to the 10% limit for each section.

Parent or Guardian Information

  • Special Admit students are treated like every other college student. All college coursework is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which allows release of academic information, including grades, to the student only – regardless of age. Academic information is not released to parents or third parties without written consent of the student. Upon consent by the student, information is only released to the authorized party in person or in writing.
  • SRJC Admissions and Records Office does not keep daily attendance records for students. Parents should not contact college offices or instructors with the expectation of accessing their student’s attendance or other information.

Please be aware that all coursework at SRJC becomes a permanent record on the student’s academic college history; grades received or excessive drops have implications for future student status at the college, including financial assistance, athletic eligibility, etc.
  • By entering a college environment, your son or daughter will be exposed to a diverse population in education programs designed for an adult learner that may involve sensitive topics that might be considered controversial or offensive in the secondary setting. SRJC will not change course content or curriculum to accommodate High School Dual Enrollment (Special Admit) students.
