Concurrent Enrollment Processes
● Regulations define acceptance of concurrently enrolled high school students, both Education Code and Title V
● 2001-2003 Concurrent Enrollment Investigation into possible “double dipping” brought focus on regulatory compliance.
● 2003 Q&A issued by Chancellor’s Office followed by 2005 Legal Advisory clarifying numerous points of compliance.
Concurrent Enrollment Processes (Cont)
MiraCosta analysis targeted specific areas of concern:
– Public school versus private school procedures– Who can sign the recommendation and related
documentation– How to enforce 11.0 unit limit and when can it be exceeded– Continuing student status and preventing students from
slipping through the cracks without limitations in place– Ensuring all paperwork is accurate and ready for auditors!
Concurrent Enrollment Processes (Cont)
Staff trained in acceptance of approval forms and placing unit limits. Signature forms on file for all local high schools. One staff member is
responsible for contacting high schools and follow through. Students requesting full-time enrollment must have special processing
including assessment, receipt of hs transcripts and meeting with Dean of Counseling to determine if student ready for college level work.
Mid-semester review of all concurrently enrolled students to determine if paper work is on file and proper limits placed in computer system.
Each upcoming enrollment periods, holds placed on all high school students. Notices mailed to request new permit OR updating of education status.
Yearly review of regulations, forms, procedures and reminders to student services departments.

What the future holds? Excerpt from the Barstow Desert Dispatch:
California court ruling limits some Barstow home school programsMany programs are not affected by new credential requirementBy Jason Smith, staff writer March 6, 2008 - 7:19PMBARSTOW — A recent ruling by a California court might make it more difficult for Barstow parents to pursue education outside of the traditional school setting.
According to Ronda Sheffield, who tutors children in home school programs at Barstow Community College, a new requirement of parents to have teaching credentials to home school will create hardship for parents who teach their children at home.
The ruling, issued by the 2nd District Court of Appeals, came down at the end of February and would require parents who home school their children to obtain teaching credentials, a five-year process that requires multiple examinations and a bachelor’s degree.
