Program History &

3 Core Values

• Planning

• Service

• Collaboration

Program Core #1:

Planning:In 1998, our SBCC administration met extensively with high school administrators and faculty to build relationships and create a plan that would be a “WIN” for everyone, especially students and their parents.

Program Core #2:

Service:

The Dual Enrollment Program has been built with the philosophy that SBCC will bring college classes to each high school to provide access.

Program Core #3:

Collaboration:

Building and sustaining relationships is our #1 priority in program management.

California Dual

Enrollment Legislation

• Ed. Code, section 76300

• Senate Bill 292

• Senate Bill 338

Education Code 76300:

• The governing board of a community college district may exempt special part-time (high school) students from enrollment fees.

Enrollment Fees:

• SBCC does not charge fees when college classes are taken on the high school site as long as the student is a California resident.

Senate Bill 292 (1996):

• School districts can claim full ADA for dually enrolled students as long as they are enrolled in and attend high school for 240 minutes a day.

HS ADA & College FTE:

• SBCC requires that each student be enrolled in HS only classes for 240 minutes per day (~ 4 or 5 periods per day), anything above that can be Dual Enrollment and claimed by SBCC.

Senate Bill 338 (2003):

• The governing board of a school district may determine which students maybe benefit from “advanced scholastic or vocational work.” To participate students must obtain principal’s recommendation and parental consent. Community colleges may restrict admissions based on age, grade level or multiple assessments. In order for a college to claim full-time equivalent status, the class must be open and advertised to the general public.

Signature Approval, Pre-requisites, Assessment & Open Enrollment

• SBCC requires principal approval, all college pre-requisites must be met, assessment must be taken for math and English with appropriate placement in order for a high school student to be allowed to enroll in a Dual Enrollment class. All of our Dual Enrollment classes are advertised at least 30 days before the start of each class and they are open to our regular SBCC population due to an existing MOU with our local high school districts.
