Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment in college courses by high school students is a privilege provided by Cerro Coso Community College. This process applies to ALL students who are currently enrolled in any school in the K-12 system, including an adult school program. Cerro Coso does not usually admit students under the 9th grade high school status. However, exceptions may be made for young students who have been or can be designated as qualifying for the "Gifted and Talented" program. Students in the latter category must be identified and documented by the school district office and then enrollment is restricted to those college classes that fall within their Gifted and Talented category.

In order for students to be placed in course work in a quick and effective manner, it is important that the process for enrollment is followed and that all instructions are read and understood by the parent or guardian, prospective student and school official.

Steps for Concurrent Enrollment:

1. Submit College Application: New students must complete the Cerro Coso application for admission. Continuing students must complete the application update form each semester. Both can be completed in Banweb. The application must be completed before the student can be registered via the Concurrent Enrollment process.
2. Print Concurrent Enrollment Checklist and Concurrent Enrollment Form: The Concurrent Enrollment process has a number of important steps. Please print out and follow the steps on the Cerro Coso Community College Concurrent Enrollment Checklist and the Concurrent Enrollment Form.
3. Submit Completed Concurrent Enrollment Form for Counselor Approval: Once a course has been approved via the Concurrent Enrollment Form by the parent or guardian, prospective student, and school official, the form must be submitted to the Cerro Coso Counseling Department for a college counselor or educational advisor signature. If the student is local, forms can be brought in to the counseling center at the closest Cerro Coso campus on a drop-in basis. For students who are not located near any of our campuses, forms can be faxed to (760) 375-4776, Attention: Counseling. Incomplete forms will not be processed.
4. Register student for class(es): Concurrent Enrollment students cannot register online. Students will be registered by the Admissions and Records Office either in person or via the faxed form submitted by the counseling office. Forms will not be processed until two weeks after the open registration date and concurrent students will not be added to a waitlist. It is important to follow-up on forms that have been faxed to verify that they have been received by the appropriate office. Any questions or concerns may be directed to the IWV Counseling Office at (760) 384-6219.
