For Classes at a CCCD College Campus or Online

Course Registration

Please note that submitting this parent consent form and application does not register the student in the course. It is the student's responsibility to log into their MyCoast account to register for course(s) in accordance with all college deadlines.

Grades

The grade(s) a high school dual enrollment student earns in a CCC, GWC, or OCC class will become a part of their official college academic record and official college transcript. Grades also may be shared with the High School District to include on the high school transcript.

Fees

High school students are not required to pay college enrollment fees. However, students taking a college course at CCC, GWC, or OCC or online are required to pay a Health Fee and a College Service Charge. Other costs, such as books and materials, are to be paid by the student, unless your high school has agreed to pay for the materials.

Grades

The grade a student earns in their college class will become a part of their official college academic record and transcript. Students may view their course grades by logging into their MyCoast account. Please note students must make satisfactory academic progress (minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and completion of 67% of courses attempted) to maintain eligibility for financial aid when they begin at a CCCD college as a full-time college student.

Course Content/ Material

CCC, GWC, and OCC are adult learning environments. As such, discussion topics and course materials are designed for adults and may not be appropriate for younger students. CCC, GWC, or OCC assume no responsibility for the supervision of minor students outside of the classroom setting. Parents are responsible for providing transportation and ensuring that their children are appropriately supervised before and after class.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Student Privacy

Parents, guardians, relatives, or friends of GWC students are not permitted to enroll, drop, or add classes on behalf of the student. The same applies to requesting transcripts or grade verifications. Under Section 49061 of the Education Code, parents of community college students do not have a right of access to their children's student records, regardless of whether the student is under the age of 18. In accordance with this regulation, students' college records will be released to parents only with the written consent of the student. (Authorization for Release of Information form may be obtained on request). For more information, please see the Rights and Policies for each college (CCC , GWC , OCC ).

Contacting Instructors

Your student is enrolled in a college course, where instructors work directly with students, as opposed to the type of parent involvement you may be used to in high school. Under FERPA, instructors are not allowed to discuss student performance or other student-related issues with parents.

I hereby certify that I am the parent/guardian of the above named student and I am in agreement with the policies stated and give consent for their participation in CCCD college courses during the years my student is enrolled in high school. I authorize the colleges (CCC, GWC, and/or OCC) to release information requested by the high school and for the school district to share relevant educational records with the colleges.
