Dual & Concurrent Enrollment

While not mandatory, students are encouraged to take community college courses, outside of those that are a part of our high school curriculum. The goal is to earn college credits while still enrolled in high school and work toward earning an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree. Please be aware of which courses are UC/CSU transferrable, and within these courses, which ones can be used to meet general education and preparation requirements for a major. Students are encouraged to meet with the LAVC counselor, as well as our own Counseling Office for guidance.

Currently, The Science Academy is partnered with Los Angeles Valley College for our dual enrollment high school classes, but students may concurrently enroll at any of the colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD).

Enrollment Process:

Whether you are looking for dual or concurrent enrollment at LAVC, the steps are the same:

  1. review LAVC’s Class Schedule for your preferred session;
  2. if you are new to LAVC and have never been enrolled and/or issued an LAVC student ID number, complete the LAVC admissions application to obtain your LAVC student ID number (otherwise, continue to #3);
  3. complete the student information section and the course subject/number portion of the enrollment section of the LACC Application for Enrollment in Grades K-12 Form;
  4. return your completed and signed form to Ms. Hodali, our academic counselor, for approval and administrative signature. She will forward to LAVC’s admission’s office to complete the process.
  5. if you plan to take courses at another LACC college, please speak with Ms. Hodali and refer to that college’s particular process for concurrent enrollment.

*NOTE: The Science Academy will NOT approve requests for any courses that are normally offered during the regular school year as part of the SA curriculum or SA/LAVC dual enrollment curriculum. These classes include Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-calculus, Spanish 1, 2, 3, Health, and any other electives chosen as part of the SA High School curriculum.
