Eligibility for Schools (including Homeschools)

Schools that wish to participate must complete a Compliance Form every year (good for Fall, Spring, Summer) to specify the authorized approvers. Email outreach@sierracollege.edu to request the form. 

Steps to Enroll

  1. Meet with your high school counselor. Verify your eligibility and discuss your class options.
  2. Apply to Sierra College. Apply online through OpenCCC and indicate that you are a high school student. We recommend using a personal email address and not a school email. Watch a tutorial video about applying to the Academic Enrichment program.
  3. Set up your mySierra account. Refer to your Welcome email and use the password reset tool to create your account. If you have not received the Welcome email, contact outreach@sierracollege.edu.
  4. Complete the Permission Form. Please note there are two different forms for different schools. See “Details for Step 4: Application Form” below.
  5. Accept College Terms and Conditions. Log in to mySierra and click on the Terms and Conditions link to accept.
  6. Register for classes in mySierra. Visit Register for Classes for instructions and how-to videos. Note: Make sure the class you want is not restricted by reviewing the Academic Enrichment Restricted Course List.
  • NOTE: Many courses offer Zero Textbook Costs for textbooks that are free (represented by green icon with $0 in the Class Schedule) and Low Textbook Costs for textbooks costing under $30 (represented by yellow icon with dollar sign and down arrow in the Class Schedule).

 

Details for Step 4: Application Form

Please note

  • Student and parent/guardian need to have separate email accounts to be able to sign the form electronically
  • After parent/guardian signs the form, it will automatically be sent to the student’s high school counselor to sign, then routed to Sierra College for processing. Students will receive confirmation in their mySierra email. Please allow up to five business days for processing, once the form is fully completed

Eligibility

  • To be eligible, students must attend a CA high school, have completed the 8th grade, and be in good academic standing.
  • You must meet all course prerequisites to enroll in a course which may require providing transcripts.
  • Every year, high schools (including homeschools) must submit an updated Academic Enrichment Compliance Form with the names and signatures of all authorized personnel for the Permission Form. If the individual is not listed on the form, we cannot process the form.
  • You must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA at Sierra College to be allowed to continue in classes as an Academic Enrichment student.

Course Policies

  • There is a maximum enrollment of 11 units each semester or summer session.
  • Academic Enrichment students are not permitted to audit courses.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to register for the appropriate classes. The Restricted Course List is available on our website and the college reserves the right to exclude certain classes.
  • The course credit and grades earned will become part of the student’s permanent college record. There is no way to remove Ws or substandard grades (D, F) from a college transcript. Classes in which a student receives a passing grade cannot be retaken later for a higher grade.
  • College courses will be reviewed when determining your college financial aid eligibility. See Financial Aid SAP Policy.
  • Students are responsible for being aware of and adhering to policies, procedures and deadlines (including Add/Drop deadlines) as they pertain to Sierra College students. For example, if you are not present for the first class meeting, you may be dropped from the class.

Other Student Information

  • Students seeking accommodations for disabilities must meet with a Student Accessibility Services (SAS) counselor and submit disability verification from a qualified professional. Sierra College cannot participate in the Individual Education Plan (IEP) process but will consider high school IEPs as part of the accommodation request. By statute, the accommodations available for students and the support offered are different at the high school and college levels, so the accommodations granted at the college may differ from those approved through the IEP process.
  • Upon graduation from high school, you can re-apply to Sierra College as a first-time college student.
  • Dual enrollment students are not eligible for state or federal financial aid.

Parent Information

Students may interact socially with adult college students and may be exposed to discussions, readings, and visual materials of a mature nature. Students will be expected to conform to the same performance standards as any other college students as set forth in course outlines and syllabi. Sierra College is not responsible for the social interactions of students and is released from the responsibility of monitoring concurrently enrolled minor students should a class meeting or course be canceled.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student 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.

The parent / guardian assumes financial responsibility for all fees incurred by their Academic Enrichment student.
