Title 2, Chapter 5, Article 1, Section 48800 of the California Education Code provides the following guidelines for enrichment
students: The governing board of any school district may determine which students would benefit from advanced scholastic or
vocational work. The intent of this section is to provide educational enrichment opportunities for a limited number of eligible pupils,
rather than to reduce current course requirements for elementary and secondary schools.
This program is
designed for K-12 students, seeking
advanced scholastic
Cerritos College definition of
courses.
“advanced scholastic
1. Courses meeting Cerritos requirements for an Associate in Arts Degree, excluding remedial English and math courses.
” is…
2. Courses that are transferable to a four-year institution.
Examples of advanced scholastic courses:
3. Vocational courses below 100 level may be taken.
English 100, Math 140, Soc 101, etc.
Examples of vocational courses: Auto 73, Cos 50, Weld 52, etc.
Limitations and Conditions of Enrollment
1. Students shall receive college credit for the community college courses that they successfully complete.
2. Students may
not enroll in pre-collegiate courses (1-99) or physical education courses.* Cerritos College has determined
that non-transferable and physical education courses are the types of courses that would not be considered
“advanced
scholastic”
Example:

receive priority enrollment status.
*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.

College Bridge/Special Admit - To Do List
Reminder: Students found enrolled in courses level 1-99 or without proper approval from the Dean will be
automatically dropped WITHOUT notice.
Please Note: Due to the extra application requirements for Special Admit/College Bridge students, it is strongly
recommended that students complete all of the steps listed on this page prior to their enrollment period. California
State law requires that Special Admit/College Bridge students receive a lower enrollment priority than regular college
students. While Cerritos College cannot guarantee space for Special Admit/College Bridge students, the earlier the
student completes the application process the greater their chances will be to enroll in eligible coursework at Cerritos
College.
