Concurrent Enrollment (High School + College)
Current high school students who have completed the equivalent of the eighth grade
(OR who are 15 years old) may attend college courses at MiraCosta College with the
permission of their high school and a parent/guardian. Students wishing to receive
high school credit in addition to college credit should consult with their high school
counselor.
Students must be enrolled in high school and are limited to 11.0 units (8.0 units
for summer session) at MiraCosta College.
Private High Schools
Recommendations from private high school principals will only be accepted from private schools which have filed the proper affidavit with the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Private schools not listed as active on the California Department of Education website must provide the college with proof of filing the affidavit.
Home-schooled Students
Home-schooled students must provide proof of filing as a private school OR may obtain sign-off from the local public high school that the student would normally be attending. The local high school must be willing to accept home schooling as valid school attendance and determine whether the pupil has completed coursework sufficient to prepare them to undertake college-level course work.
