High school seniors who plan to attend SCC for the upcoming fall semester learn about the Early Welcome Program
The
Dual Enrollment Program is designed for high school students. A portion of the Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) curriculum is available to supplement programs for high school students recommended by their principal/counselor. Contact your high school Counseling Office for details.
Students in the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades of high school may be admitted as special part-time or full-time students to Santiago Canyon College. SCC full-time status is 6 units for Summer/Intersession and 12 units for Fall/Spring semester. High school students who would benefit from advanced scholastic work may enroll in classes with the signed consent of the high school principal/counselor, a parent, and the appropriate Santiago Canyon College Division Dean. All signatures are recorded on the
Special Admit Form.
SB 338 provides the District with the authority to restrict admission and enrollment in any session based on age, grade-level of completion, or assessment and placement procedures in conformance with Matriculation regulations.

ASSEMBLY BILL AB 967: Assembly Bill AB 967 relates to the concurrent enrollment of students in high school and community college. This bill requires community college districts to assign a low priority enrollment to Special Admit students in order to ensure that these students do not displace regularly admitted students.
NOTE: Any other class that has a prerequisite must also be cleared. Please contact our Counseling Office for clarification
