Tuition and Fees
Tuition and Fees
Tuition is covered for high school students who are CA residents, but additional fees are not (i.e. mandatory student health fee- around $18-21 per semester, parking passes, textbook costs, etc.)
Please Note: Grossmont/Cuyamaca does offer some courses that do not require a textbook. If you are looking for no textbook or textbook optional courses, look for classes with an OER (Open Educational Resources) or a ZTC (Zero Textbook Costs) designation in the semester class schedule. Not every subject area or course will have this option.
General Rules
General Rules
High school students will attend high school for at least the minimum high school day.
High School/College Credit (HS/CC) students may enroll for either day or extended day courses but are limited to no more than 11.5 units per term.
All classes taken at Grossmont/Cuyamaca College are for college credit. Enrollment in the HS/CC program will establish a permanent college record. As a result, your grade will stay on your college transcript forever, so take the class seriously!
High school students will be held to the same academic and conduct standards as any other college student enrolled in the class. Access to specific courses may be limited by space availability and/or course prerequisites. (See college catalog and class schedule for specific information.)
As this is a college course, the student is responsible for all communication with instructors. Due to privacy laws, instructors cannot and will not provide information about a student's grade or progress in a course. In fact, most will simply not respond. Students must be responsible to advocate for themselves and communicate if there is an issue.
High school students will need to provide transportation to and from the college, purchase a parking permit (if needed) and the required books and supplies for the college course(s).
Attend class! You must be present for the first class meeting or the instructor may drop you. In addition, the instructor may drop you for excessive absences. However, it is always the student's responsibility to drop the course before the published deadline date if you no longer plan to attend.
Concurrent Enrollment- Summary of Board Policy
Concurrent Enrollment- Summary of Board Policy
Courses successfully completed at a postsecondary institution (college) will be assigned high school credit as follows:
Courses earning one or two college units will earn one high school credit.
Courses earning three or four college units will earn five high school credits.
Courses earning five or six college units will earn ten high school credits.
Students must receive prior written approval to receive the credit. For the community colleges, this means getting a high school/community college authorization form signed by a counselor. For other institutions (i.e. UC Scout, BYU Independent Study, etc.), an administrator must give prior approval for a student to receive high school credit on their transcript.
In addition, coursework completed at a community college will be calculated as a weighted grade IF the course is three college units or higher AND it is transferable to UC or CSU. This information can be found in the college's course catalog. Coursework NOT fulfilling these requirements will be counted as unweighted on the student's high school transcript.
Lastly, there are limits on the number of transferable courses a student may add from outside institutions. Students will be given credit for no more than 40 total high school credits from concurrently enrolled courses, not to exceed 20 credits in any particular school year. For example, if a student took several three unit courses at a community college, they could only bring back a maximum of four of those three-unit classes in a given school year and no more than eight three-unit classes overall in their high school career. If the courses were five or six units, they could only bring back two such courses in a school year, and no more than four overall.
