SJHS Concurrent Enrollment Policy

Concurrent Enrollment

San Jacinto Unified School District students who enroll in concurrent enrollment courses will be allowed to receive the following high school credit.  Prior to enrolling, the students must complete the concurrent enrollment process. This includes completing the matriculation process for MSJC (application, orientation) and completing the Student-Parent Agreement Form each semester, which requires the Principal's authorization.

High school courses cannot be dropped without proof of enrollment into the MSJC course or transcript from MSJC. Ten high school credits will be awarded for each 3 or more unit courses. Only classes that are UC/CSU transferable will be weighted. Non-transferable courses will not be weighted.

Concurrent Enrollment Recommendations from MSJC: 

English:

English courses as ENGL 101 are not recommended for students under the 11^th grade as they will not have met the prerequisite of the course per AB 705; as taking a college English College course below the 11th grade will limit their ability to complete the 4 years of English needed to complete the requirements for A-G without having to go backwards in their English education. This is not a barrier it is to enhance their ability for success. Students MUST also have a 2.6 overall GPA to be considered for ENGL 101. Therefore, we will be recommending the student take other courses that will enhance their educational journey. Below are the recommendations for 9^th and 10^th graders. As a reminder CSCR 100 is highly recommended for all students. 

Economics: 

ECON 201 is not recommended for students under the 12^th grade. There is not a grade level for eligibility for this course but there is math prerequisite of Math 90 which could be met with AB 705 Placement after the 11^th; therefore, we will be recommending the student take other courses that will enhance their educational journey.

Math: 

Students interested in enrolling in any mathematics course at MSJC are required to have a 3.0 overall GPA.
