San Juan Hills High School - Concurrent College Studies Program

Guidance

Concurrent College Studies Program

Concurrent College Studies Program

All CUSD students have access to a valuable arrangement between CUSD and Saddleback College to take classes at Saddleback College and gain high school credits at no charge. Many of these courses are transferable to either the California State University or University of California systems.

All of the Saddleback College courses are available as electives and do not replace CUSD required core courses such as English, history/social science, mathematics, or science. However, this does not prevent students from taking additional courses within other disciplines beyond CUSD graduation requirements.

Any time a CUSD student enrolls in a Saddleback College course for Concurrent Enrollment credit, he/she must be enrolled in a course giving at least three credits/units. If a student elects to enroll in a course offering a lesser number of credits, the student must select other courses until the amount of credit for the semester equals three credits. Physical education courses are not eligible under the concurrent studies program.

District Policy 6146.11 states “College courses will be equated to high school credits on the following basis: each semester unit of college credit is equal to 3-1/3 high school credits.”
