STEPS TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE CO-ENROLLMENT

Text Box: If you are interested in having your child/student attend community college course while at SMCS, don’t procrastinate and do pay close attention to paperwork deadlines and registration dates. A maximum of two courses can be taken at the college while co-enrolled with SMCS – these courses can count toward high school credit as determined by the ES. Please keep in mind that the student may not go over a combined 40 units without prior permission for rare exceptions. SMCS Students are eligible to attend community college if: they are 14 yrs or older, are succeeding with their current coursework, the ES is in agreement, and the chosen coursework is appropriate. Students in elementary and junior high grade levels need special permission along with all other required forms. Only grades 8th through high school may earn high school credit by attending a community college.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.    The parent will need to visit the community college Admissions Department and ask about the colleges’ co-enrollment program and paperwork.

2.    Parent obtains the special high school co-enrollment paperwork packet from the college and a course catalogue.

3.    After the parent and student have chosen the courses of interest from the course catalogue the parent will need to obtain and fill out the Pre-concurrent enrollment permission form at: http://www.ieminc.org/genericforms/conenrollmentiem.pdf

4.    Meet with your ES to discuss the course information, proposed unit value, and Pre-Concurrent enrollment form. Your ES will review the course information and unit value – and will approve or disapprove the course selections.

5.    The pre-concurrent form is to be signed by you and the ES and make sure all sections are completed. Don’t forget to fill in the information of where and whom the form should be returned to.

6.    The parent needs to provide the following forms to their ES who will mail them directly to Erin Havrilesky for wet signatures: Pre-concurrent enrollment form and Concurrent enrollment form. Most colleges do not accept faxed copies so pay close attention to dates and deadlines. This process takes about two weeks turn around time!

7.    Once all original forms with wet signatures are received back from processing then the parent needs to provide them to the colleges Admissions department.

8.    Be sure to register for the courses on the earliest possible registration date to ensure placement- SMCS does not guarantee any CC courses will be available.

9.    Sky Mountain will pay for the books if the college is a vendor.  The bookstore submits for payment and does NOT reimburse the parents or students for books purchased.

10. Students still need to show all of their work to the ES to receive credit for the course.  Therefore, make copies of the work for your ES before turning it in to the professor since some college professors do not return the work samples.  

11. The grade given by the professor is the grade that is recorded for the student with SMCS.  Please give your ES a copy of the final grade report card.

12. This process needs to be repeated each semester that college courses are taken.

13. Upon completion all of the course(s), the student must request an official transcript from the Community College to be sent directly to Student Records at IEM: 4535 Missouri Flat Road, Suite 1A, Placerville, CA 95667

14. If you have any questions please contact your ES.
