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 are 14 years of age or older or those 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.

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.

- 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.
