Admission of High School Students

Crafton Hills College may admit high school students who have completed the tenth grade who are capable of benefiting from advanced scholastic courses (i.e., college level), and are seeking educational opportunities not otherwise available to them.  

To be eligible, students must have:

• The recommendation of the high school principal           
• The consent of a parent or guardian
• Demonstrated adequate preparation in the discipline to be studied
• A GPA of 2.5 or higher

Students who meet the eligibility requirements, must submit the following:

• Admission Application
• High School Dual Enrollment Request form
• Consent for Medical Treatment form
• Official high school transcripts in a sealed envelope from the originating institution

All applications will be reviewed by the Dean of Student Services and Student Development or designee.  Upon approval, students may register for the approved classes beginning at open registration.  Course changes or enrollment in a course without prior approval will result in an administrative withdrawal without refund.

Crafton Hills College may restrict the admission and enrollment of high school students during any session based on age, completion of a specific grade level, regulation or demonstrated eligibility for instruction based on the college’s assessment methods and procedures.  All high school students enrolling in college courses must have a release of liability and the maturity to function effectively on a college campus.

Admission of Students below Grade 11

In extraordinary cases, where a student who has not completed the tenth grade demonstrates superior ability and capacity to succeed in college level work in a particular discipline, the college may consider admission of that student. Such consideration will be on a course-by-course basis and will be allowed only through the add/drop process, after open registration has been completed.  Students below grade 11 wishing to enroll in courses must meet all of the requirements identified in the section above as well as any pre-requisites or departmental recommendations established for the course(s) in which they wish to enroll, as demonstrated by completion of the college assessment process.

Students in this category will be bound, as are all other students, by the syllabus of the course.  Course content is non-negotiable.  Moreover, parents are not permitted to attend classes with their children unless they are registered for the course.  These students and their parents must complete an orientation process for each course conducted by the Counseling Department.  The instructor of the course will have the final determination of whether any student below grade 11 will be allowed to enroll in his or her class.
