Centennial Students and Parents:

All Dual Enrollment or Concurrent enrollment requests to any college will only be processed and/or approved until after the student has met with their counselor. This does not pertain to dual enrollment classes offered at Centennial. The counselor will review the request(s) with the student and complete the contract which must be signed and on file to receive approval if the student wishes to receive high school credit. A copy of the contract can be accessed by clicking here or students can pick up a copy in the Counseling office. (See KHSD Board Policy Below)

KHSD Board Policy 6172.1 Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes

Community Colleges and Collegiate Institutions

Prior approval must be received from the parents, the student's counselor, and the high school principal, or designee.

Students must be in attendance in high school classes a minimum of 240 minutes per day.

Seniors may be exempted from the 240 minute requirement or the five course requirement, if they are concurrently enrolled in ROP, accredited post-secondary institutions, independent study, special education programs where an IEP establishes a different number of courses, continuation classes, or work experience classes.

The total time of class attendance, including both the local school and concurrent or other program should approximate 240 minutes or five classes.

Students will be responsible for their own transportation.

The Assistant/Associate Superintendent of Educational Services and Innovative Programs and the Assistant/Associate Superintendent of Instruction will conduct an annual review to determine which collegiate courses shall be accepted.

College level credit will be converted to high school credit as follows: 3 1/3 semester periods of credit for each 1 collegiate hour of credit (5 CCR 1630), not to exceed 5.0 high school credits per regular semester. Students may earn an additional 10 credits each summer toward high school graduation.

Each high school will be responsible for determining which courses shall be accepted and whether or not the credit earned shall be applied toward requirements, electives, or a combination of both.

Grades earned in college courses will be equal to college prep grade points. Core courses (defined as math, English, social studies, science, and foreign language) taken at a community college and approved by the Principal or designee transferable to the University of California will carry enhanced grade point values provided a grade of C or better is earned. Approval for other courses than these must be obtained from the Director of Instruction.

If a course is offered at the high school site, students will not be given approval to enroll in the same course in college for high school credit. Exceptions may be granted by the school site administration if the student has an "impacted" schedule. The nature and severity of course conflicts will be the foundation of this decision.

Any college course taken for high school credit to meet a subject graduation requirement must meet the district Board-adopted content standards for that discipline.

A student may take a maximum of one college course per semester for high school credit (maximum of 5 high school credits per regular semester). This limitation does not apply to courses taken for college credit. Students may earn additional 10 credits each summer towards high school graduation.

Community Colleges and Collegiate Institutions

A student may earn either high school credit or college credit for a course taken concurrently at a community college or university. A student may not earn both high school and college credit for the same course without pre approval by the high school principal or designee.
