DUAL ENROLLMENT/EARLY COLLEGE

Carpinteria High school students have two pathways to begin earning college credit at Santa Barbara City College while still enrolled in high school: College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) and High School Enrichment at SBCC. Each option has its own eligibility requirements and enrollment process. These college courses allow students to earn units toward a certificate, associate degree, or transfer to a four-year university, and may also count toward a high school diploma or adult equivalency. In addition to academic pathways, some  courses are part of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, helping students develop in-demand job skills and earn industry-recognized credentials. This opportunity gives students a valuable head start on both their higher education and career goals. 

College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP)

• Who: Current High School Students covered under a CCAP partnership

• When: Fall and Spring

• Where: Carpinteria High School Campus before, during, or after school hours

• Fees: Subject to textbook fees if the high school district does not cover them

In CCAP Dual Enrollment, students enroll in SBCC courses offered as part of a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership agreement between the Santa Barbara City College District and a local high school district. Classes taught at a high school during school hours are restricted and are only open to students from a participating high school district. Your instructor will notify you if your class is a CCAP course. Students receive both high school and college credit for completing courses in the Dual Enrollment program if the course is offered during the school day only. Students are limited to 15 units per semester.

High School Enrichment (Non-CCAP)

• Who: Carpinteria High School Students with a 2.0 GPA or higher

• When: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer

• Where: Santa Barbara City College's Campus or Online

• Fees: Subject to all fees, except enrollment fees

In High School Enrichment (Non-CCAP), students enroll in SBCC courses that are not covered by a CCAP partnership agreement with a local high school district. These courses are taken outside of the regular high school day. Enrollment fees may be waived, but college-related fees apply. Students are also responsible for the cost of any books and supplies. Students only receive college credit for courses taken on CHS Campus. Students are limited to 11 units per semester.
