The over-arching concern of the admission review process is that the high
school student is adequately prepared to engage in the rigors of college-
level work, and has a high probability of success.
High school students wishing to attend SBVC must complete and submit
the following items, at least four weeks prior to the beginning of instruction:
•
a regular application for admission to SBVC
•
a Concurrent Enrollment Petition form
•
a Confidential Youth Emergency Card
•
an official copy of the high school transcript
The Concurrent Enrollment Petition form will require the signature of the
high school principal (or designee), certifying that the student is
academically qualified, and recommending the student for an advanced
academic or vocational experience. All forms are available online at:
.
All high school students wishing to enroll in transfer-level courses (courses
numbered 100-299) must be in their junior or senior year, with an academic
GPA of 3.0, and have high passing grades in courses similar to those they
wish to take at SBVC. The courses requested at SBVC must not duplicate
courses currently available at the high school.
High school students wishing to enroll in vocational courses may be in
grades 9-12, with an academic GPA of 2.0, and have passing grades in
courses similar to those they wish to take at SBVC. The courses requested
at SBVC must not duplicate courses currently available at the high school.
All concurrently enrolled high school students must participate in the
college assessment and orientation prior to approval to enroll.
Residence Requirements
Residence determination must be made each semester for nonresident
tuition purposes. The college application and, if necessary, other evidence
furnished by the student are used in making residence determination.
Any adult who is physically present in the state while, at the same time,
intending to make California his/her permanent home, may establish legal
residence. The resident determination date is that day immediately
proceeding the opening day of instruction for each semester or term. Steps
must be taken at least one year prior to the residence determination date to
establish the intent to make California one’s permanent home with concurrent
relinquishment of the prior legal residence. Some indications of intention to
establish and maintain California residence include, but are not limited to:
