FERPA-Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
FERPA mandates that while minor high school students attend college, they are considered regular college students, and the privacy of their educational records is protected. Only the student has a right to their academic record. We will not release student information to parents without the prior written consent of the student.
Prepare to enroll:
1. You have a current application on file with DVC. If you previously completed courses at DVC, LMC or CCC, but have not taken a class for one year or more, you will need to begin at step one, and reapply for admission. You will keep the same student ID number and your transcripts will show all classes you've previously taken within the college district. 2. You have cleared any applicable prerequisites for the class:
/ 1. Refer to the catalog to check if the class you want has a prerequisite. 2. If the class DOES have a prerequisite you may apply for clearance here. You should do this BEFORE registration starts as it may take 2-3 business days for review. 3. Review the steps below which vary by grade level.
Please be aware:
You will NOT be registered for the class when you submit the form.

Helpful information for all grades Prerequisites
Students should be aware of course prerequisite requirements as listed in the schedule of classes and catalog. Prerequisites cannot be waived. Please review our prerequisite procedure.
Physical education classes
Regardless of grade level, all PE courses must be added on or after the first day of the class and with the instructor’s signature on the special admissions recommendation form and schedule request form.
Home schooled students
Home schooled students must provide a copy of the affidavit each academic year for home schooling in addition to the special admissions recommendation form.
Fees
High school students are exempt from enrollment fees, but will be charged student union and materials fees. High school students who are classified as non-resident students for tuition purposes may be eligible for the SB150 waiver of non-resident tuition while still in high school. Students must be special admit part-time (11 units or less) students who currently live in California and are attending high school in California. Students wishing to take advantage of this exemption should complete a residency reclassification form and attach a copy of high school transcripts showing current enrollment. Forms and attachments should be submitted to the Admissions and Records Office. Students who are not California residents will be charged nonresident enrollment fees. Please note that AB540 status is not available to high school students (AB540 requires high school graduation).
