 To enroll in college as a high school student, please follow these procedures, in order:

1. Apply for Admission to Cuyamaca College. The application can be found on the Cuyamaca College homepage here. Applications take 24 hours to process, before the student will be active. Students will remain active until they miss two consecutive terms. If this occurs, students will have to reapply using the same application account initially created.

4. Meet with your high school counselor to:

   • Discuss what courses to take at the college.

   • Determine whether courses will also be eligible for high school credit.

   • Obtain their signed permission, via the required High School Authorization Form.   

   • While in the remote environment, if counselor signature is not possible, please have the high school counselor email written permission directly to the Specialist in lieu of a signature.                                                           

5. Submit the High School/College Credit Enrollment Authorization Form to the Cuyamaca College Admissions and Records Office. Incomplete forms will not be processed. Please email all forms directly to martha.galvan@gcccd.edu for clearance.

If you need assistance with registration, please view our video tutorials, or view our Step-By-Step Guide.  In addition, please feel free to look through our Next Steps Flyer for High School Students.     

7. Important note:  If you plan to take a math or english course with us, you must first complete the math and english placement questionnaire on your webadvisor main menu. It can be found on the bottom left hand side of the menu screen, under "Step 2." This is a very quick, 7-question process, that will give you immediate results on what levels of Math or English you may enroll into.
