Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment allows high school students to access community college courses for free (registration fees are covered; textbooks &/or required online subscriptions are your responsibility). Some classes can satisfy high school graduation requirements (e.g., certain Dance and Fitness classes can fulfill your PE requirements), college requirements, and count towards your minimum enrollment at WHS.

San Mateo Community College District: You can take up to 10 units for free. Fall and Spring terms are 15 weeks. Summer term is 6 weeks. The Summer 2024 class schedule was released today!

Foothill-De Anza Community College District: You can take up to 6 units in the summer (11 units during fall, winter, or spring quarters) or 11 units at Foothill or De Anza for free. Fall, winter, and spring terms are 10 weeks. Most summer classes last 6 weeks.

Many classes are online (synchronous or asynchronous Zoom); in-person sections are offered during the day and evening. Most fall and spring semester classes are 13 weeks long, but some late start clases are shorter! Summer session classes are completed in 6 weeks at an accelerated pace.

After you apply to Canada, CSM, or Skyline, you will receive a welcome message that contains your student ID (G#) and your username for WebSmart, your college account. You will use this new account information to log in and add or drop classes, order transcripts, and find your homework on their college Canvas account.

You are enrolling in high school and college at the same time for Educational Development. You can select any major; if it's easier to select the same major as the class you are taking, that is fine.

TIP: When the form prompts you to add your mobile phone, do not include extra characters or spaces. Save your username and password so you can apply to future terms of community college as interested.

You will need your college ID (G# ). Make sure that you enter the correct information for the course and the specific section of that course.

Complete a College Connection Form in your mySMCCD Student Portal. Click on the Student Success Link. Once in the Student Success Link section, click on the “My Forms” tab to access the form.

To fill out the form, you’ll need the following information:

• The Course Number (CRN) for the classes you plan to take.
• Your parent/guardian’s email address – we’ll send them a separate email to approve your ability to take college classes while you’re still in high school.
• Your high school counselor’s email address – we’ll send them a separate email to confirm your school’s approval to take college courses while you’re still in high school.
• Within 48 hours of submitting your course request form--and English/math assessment request--log into your college portal and attempt to add the class [entering the CRN for your class in the Registration-Add window].
• If you cannot add the class, go see your school counselor to confirm that the form has been approved or see if your registration is pending due to a future registration date or assessment issue.

If you would like to take English 100, Econ 100/102, or a math class, you need to complete the placement process. Download your unofficial WHS transcript from Infinite Campus > Documents. If you do not have a copy of CAASSP scores, you can ask your counselor or college advisor for a pdf copy.

Canada College: Email canadaplacement@smccd.edu with your name, G#, desired class, cell #, & unofficial High School Transcripts.

Students who wish to take an English as a Second Language course should call the Welcome Center at (650) 306-3452 to schedule an ESL assessment. Other classes like Spanish? Email the professor of the course.

CSM: Complete this placement form. Here are the prerequisites for certain classes.

Skyline: Complete their placement form.

Once your College Connection Form has been approved, you will receive an email containing information regarding the registration process and the date when you can begin registering for classes. You can also view your registration date in your WebSMART account [Student Records > Registration].

Registering for a class that already started? You'll need to email the instructor and request an add code to complete your registration on the Registration-Add/Drop form.

Hi Professor X,

If there is room in your class (CRN#______), may I please have an add code to complete my registration. Thank you for your time.

Your Name

College ID [G# or CWID#]

Make sure you can log into your college Canvas account to keep track of assignments and deadlines.

You are responsible for the cost of required materials (textbooks or online subscription accounts). Check the college bookstore website to find out what you need. You can shop around for textbooks at Amazon, Chegg, or Slugbooks as long as you use the exact same ISBN.

Class Not Working Out? Know the drop deadlines for your community college. If you aren't passing the class and do not want to have a D/F grade on a college transcript, you need to drop the class on your college account (SMCCD's WebSmart or FDA's MyPortal). Neither your high school nor a college counselor can drop the class for you.

Some colleges will expect to see your college transcript when you apply as a first-year student. The first two SMCCD transcript requests are free; subsequent requests cost $5 per order. Foothill-De Anza College District charges for every official transcript order.

If you plan to take more than one college course or have questions about the impact of adding the college grade, contact your counselor or college advisor first.

Here are the directions. Each transcript cost $7.

Many community college courses offer transferrable credit to the UC/CSU systems (check Assist.org to confirm). Like Advanced Placement exams, transferable community college classes help students earn their college degrees faster.
