Special Admittance

Section 48800 of the California Education Code allows the governing board of any school district to determine which students would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work. The intent of this section of the California Education Code is to provide educational enrichment opportunities for a limited number of eligible pupils, rather than reduce current course requirements of elementary and secondary schools.

  • All college coursework is governed by the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which allows the release of academic information, including grades, to the student only – regardless of age. Academic information is not released to parents or third parties without the consent of the student. 
  • Santa Rosa Junior College interprets “advanced scholastic” coursework as those courses designated as degree applicable (DA) in the SRJC Catalog https://catalog.santarosa.edu/.
  • High School students may NOT enroll in English 300 level courses regardless of assessment results.
  • Santa Rosa Junior College reserves the right to exclude or limit enrollment of special admit students into impacted programs and other programs or courses based on health, safety, instructional methodology, faculty constraints, or legal requirements.
  • Students enrolling in Kinesiology (PE) activity courses are subject to the 10% limit for each section.
  • All high school students must submit an online SRJC application every spring or summer/fall semester in order for this form to be processed. This form must be submitted with all required signatures. Incomplete forms will not be processed.
  • High School Dual Enrollment students may enroll online during priority 6 registration. Please submit your application online AND your High School Dual Enrollment Request form prior to your enrollment date. Mail, upload or bring in person your signed dual enrollment form, and proof of prerequisite completion (high school transcript) and complete the Prerequisite Equivalency form if enrolling in a course that has a prerequisite.
