Students Who Have Not Completed 10th Grade

Students that have not completed the 10th grade prior to the start of the term must gain the permission of the appropriate academic Division Dean that oversees the department in which the student wishes to take a class. The student must take to the Dean: letters of support from both a parent and the high school principal (not a high school counselor); a copy of their high school transcript; cleared all required prerequisites, if any; and for classes for which recommended preparation is English 101 (college level English), the students must take the assessment test and at least assess into English A and English 84. If approved to enroll, students need to submit to the admissions office the concurrent enrollment form along with the additional documentation provided to the Division Dean.

Students Who Wish to Enroll in a Third Class

Students who wish to enroll in a third class must get approval from the Director of Admissions and Records. Students must schedule a meeting with the Director and bring: a copy of their school transcripts (unofficial is acceptable), a letter from their high school principal on school letterhead specifically naming the classes the student is allowed to take, and a letter from the parent explaining how the student will benefit from enrolling at Compton College. The Director of Admissions and Records may approve or deny the student's request to enroll in a third class, but not to exceed 11 units during the term.

Students Enrolling in a Class With a Math or English Prerequisite

Students wishing to enroll in a class with a math or English prerequisite will need to take the Level Up Survey and meet with a counselor. High school counselors cannot clear prerequisites for college courses.

Fees

Enrollment fees are waived for California residents. However, non-residents, out-of-country, and out-of-state students must pay the appropriate tuition. Please consult the current class schedule for tuition requirements. Classification as out-of-country or out-of-state is automatically determined during the online application. A student must complete the Residency Petition in order to change classification. Click here for more information on Residency.

By law, Compton College may restrict K-12 enrollment based on any of the following: age, grade, academic preparation, seat availability or registration priority.

Compton College will grant college credit for completed coursework. Students should consult their school counselor and/or school district policy on enrolling in college classes to earn high school credits or dual credit.
