CCAP Forms are required to gain approval for students to add any courses offered within the LMA Bell Schedule. This is similar but different from the K-12 General Dual Enrollment Form that may be more familiar to you. 

To complete the CCAP Form, please follow the steps below. It is essential you review the information carefully as CCAP Forms can only be corrected by counselors contacting IVC directly. Please take your time. Counselors are not available for support during holidays and breaks.

   • Click “How do I complete the CCAP Dual Enrollment Form?” and then “Legacy Magnet Academy.”

   • Student must log in using the IVC email address and password.

   • Fill out the form, ensuring accuracy in required fields.

• Select “I approve refund policy”

• You should see “enrolled” in green at the very end of the process, select this to finish the enrollment process. 

**If you need to exit before completing the Add transaction while using this APC code, be sure that you select the ‘Cancel Registration’ button or else the APC will no longer be valid when you return. 

This step is essential to enroll in the IVC Course. Seeing the course on LMA's schedule does not mean that you have completed this class. To confirm that you have added the class successfully through IVC, please check your "Current Classes" in Mysite. 

As you embark on this exciting educational journey, it’s essential to understand how your grades in dual enrollment courses will affect your academic progress. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Importance of Passing Grades

• Course Prerequisites: Some dual enrollment courses are part of a sequence. This means that passing the initial course is required to advance to the next level. If you do not pass a course, you will need to retake it (during summer) before moving on to subsequent courses. For instance, failing a prerequisite math course means you cannot enroll in the next higher-level math course until you pass the initial one.

2. Impact on Transcripts: You now have a High School Transcript AND a College Transcript

• College Transcripts: 

  • Since these courses are college-level, the grades you receive will appear on your college transcript from IVC, this is a separate transcript from LMA. This transcript will follow you throughout your college career (into your graduate and doctoral programs) and may be considered by future colleges and universities when you apply for transfer or admission to degree programs.

• High School Transcripts: 

  • The grades you earn in dual enrollment courses will also be included in your high school GPA calculation. This can influence your overall academic standing, eligibility for certain high school programs, and even scholarship opportunities.

Retaking Courses

• Requirement to Retake Failed Courses

  • If you do not pass a dual enrollment course, the only way to remediate the course is by taking it again at the community college, outside of the bell schedule (after school, summer, etc.). 

  • To sign up for college classes outside of the bell schedule, you must follow the instructions for IVC’s K-12 General Dual Enrollment process (not CCAP). 

  • In order to be approved for Dual Enrollment courses during Fall or Spring semester, students must be maintaining satisfactory grades in their LMA courses. Otherwise, you will be asked to take additional classes over the summer where they will not further compromise their in-bell classes. 

  • Retaking the course at the college will be the only way that will allow you to raise your GPA and replace the D/F grade point originally earned. 

• Impact on Scheduling

  • Course Availability: Keep in mind that retaking a course may affect your schedule and potentially delay your academic plans at LMA. It’s crucial to stay on top of your coursework and seek help if you’re struggling, so you can avoid having to retake classes.

    • Take advantage of your professor's office hours and be sure to email them (through your IVC Email Account!)

    • When in doubt, contact your LMA Counselor for more support 

1. Utilizing Resources

Tutoring and Counseling: LMA and IVC offer various academic support services, including tutoring, office hours and counseling. Take advantage of these resources if you need extra help with your coursework. Proactively seeking support can make a significant difference in your academic performance.

• • • Take advantage of Tutoring at IVC

    • When in doubt, contact your LMA Counselor for more support 

2. Communicating with Instructors

Stay Engaged: Regularly communicate with your instructors about your progress. If you are facing challenges, inform them early so they can provide guidance or additional resources to help you succeed.

• • • Take advantage of your professor's office hours and be sure to email them (through your IVC Email Account!)

3. Balancing Commitments

Time Management: Balancing dual enrollment courses with your high school responsibilities requires good time management. Make a schedule that allows you to dedicate sufficient time to each subject while also making room for extracurricular activities and rest.

• Unlike LMA, IVC will provide homework and will not allow assessment retakes. These are real college courses that follow IVC's Policy. 

4. Regularly Check Canvas, Mysite & IVC Email

• Stay Informed: It’s important to regularly check your Canvas account to keep track of assignments, tests, and important information from your professors. Staying updated ensures you don’t miss any crucial deadlines or course materials.

• Your professors will only use IVC emails. Be sure this is set up and monitored regularly. 

5. Monitoring Progress

Track Your Grades: Use Canvas to monitor your grades and academic progress throughout the semester. This helps you stay aware of your performance and address any issues promptly.

• Parents, we recommend sitting down with your student at least once a week to review the "Grades" tab in Canvas. This will show you all of the assignments completing, missing, and potentially coming up. 

  • • Due to FERPA, our students have privacy as college students and their IVC professors will not be in contact with you in regard to their progress. 

    • Additionally, LMA staff have limited access to this information as well and cannot provide detailed summaries of how your student is doing in their IVC courses.

5. Stay Organized

Keep a folder in Google Drive for IVC account information: 

• Usernames/Passwords, Pin Number

• Email Addresses (personal, IVC, LMA)

• PDF copies of your completed CCAP Forms

• PDF copies of your Class-Add Confirmations

• Homework/Notes

• Links & Portals

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act):

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the US Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. In accordance with FERPA, professors will only communicate directly with their students in the IVC course and will not be able to respond to parent emails or phone calls, all communication must be done with the student directly.

Accommodations due to learning and/or physical disabilities:

Any student with an IEP or 504 plan can contact the Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS) department at IVC and present a copy of the current IEP or 504 for evaluation to determine what services can be provided by the college. The level of service and accommodations can be different than those provided at Legacy and is determined by IVC. The DSPS department provides support services, specialized instruction and accommodations to students with a disability, allowing them to fully participate and benefit from an equitable college experience. The overall mission of DSPS is to provide exemplary instruction, support services and access to students with disabilities. DSPS will support students with disabilities in educationally related activities consistent with the mission and vision of Irvine Valley College and in compliance with federal and state laws.
