*Alternate option for physical education courses only
: Auditing a course is the only other option for a student to take a physical
education course. Auditing allows the student to participate, but he/she will not receive college credit. Audit fees are not covered
by the Special Admit or College Bridge Program. All K-12 students who wish to audit a course must complete the Special Admit or
College Bridge forms.
Cerritos Community College District assumes no responsibility for the supervision of minor students outside of the classroom setting.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring that their children are appropriately supervised before, after class, and if or when a
class is cancelled or dismissed at an early time. Attendance is required, but not monitored as it is in the K-12 system. Cerritos College
will not call a parent/guardian if a student is absent, nor will we verify attendance.
Additional Parental & Student Information:
Students are expected to comply with all policies and procedures of Cerritos College and Admissions, Records and Services. For
instance, a student must meet all deadlines, which are noted in the class schedule.
Important Notice: Students who do not abide to the school policies will be dropped without notice. To illustrate, a student enrolled
in a non-vocational course below 100 will be removed from the course.
