Page 30 - San Bernardino Valley College Student Success Handbook 2020-21

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: www.valleycollege.edu/admissions
All high school students wishing to enroll in transfer-level must be in their 11th or 12th grade or vocational courses may be in grades 9-12th grade, and have passing grades in courses similar, with an academic GPA of 2.0. 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 guided self placement 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:
• Payment of California state income tax as a resident.
• Registering to vote and voting in California.
• Possessing California motor vehicle license plates.
• Possessing a valid California driver’s license.
