Once the semester has started, the student will need to obtain a permission number from the instructor - the student will be unable to add a class that has already begun without a permission number, and only the instructor can provide the student with a permission number. Search for an instructor’s email in the Faculty & Staff Directory. Access the Directory HERE.

It is the student's responsibility to meet any prerequisites for a class. A prerequisite is a requirement that a student demonstrates current readiness to enroll in a particular course or program. Students may use unofficial transcripts to clear prerequisites based on classes taken at California colleges and universities. Prerequisites cannot be cleared based on high school credit, high school transcripts, or high school counselor recommendation​.
The LAVC Dual Enrollment team works closely with high school counselors to ensure that our courses are accessible to all students.
Emails from Dynamic Forms may end up in spam or junk folders. You may need to ask your parent/guardian or counselor to check their spam folders.
Make sure you entered your parent/guardian and counselor's email addresses. If you made an error when you input their email addresses, log into your Dynamic Forms account, go to My Forms, and click Pending/Draft Forms. Select Action and Manage Co-Signers. If needed, you may edit the email address or send a new reminder for signature.
If your parent/guardian or counselor is still having trouble receiving emails from Dynamic Forms, they can also electronically sign your K-12 Form by completing the steps below:
Create a Dynamic Forms account using the parent email address that was listed on the form (if there is not one already). Note: The email address associated with the Dynamic Forms account MUST match the parent email listed on the form.
Once the parent has created their account, they should be able to login and access their form(s) in their Pending/Draft folder. They will need to click the Action dropdown and select the "Complete Form" option to enter and sign the form. Make sure to click the Submit button once they have added an electronic signature.

Proper submission of the K-12 Form ensures that all fees are waived.
