Grade Petition For Concurrent/Dual Enrollment.
Rio Hondo College is a two-year community college. We have an open agreement with local
high school districts to enroll high school students in college classes.
The Community College educational environment is geared toward adult students. This is true
in both lecture/discussion classes as well as skills/performance classes. Lecture/discussion
courses are not always appropriate for younger students due to the nature of topics discussed
and the language that may be used.
Concurrent/Dual Enrollment students are permitted to enroll in a maximum of eleven (11) non-
each term. Authorized personnel from the student’s high school must determine if a student is prepared and will
benefit from taking college level courses. All Concurrent/Dual Enrollment forms must be signed by the student,
student’s parent/guardian, and the authorized personnel from the high school.
Our goal is to serve high school students by offering:
• Classes that are not currently offered in their school system
• Classes that are advanced beyond the level of courses at the high school level
• Classes that will help the student complete graduation from the high school
In order for high school age students to enroll in a college course(s), the following is required:
• Student must complete and sign the petition on the reverse side
• This petition must contain the parent’s AND
Principal or designee’s signature indicating approval for
enrolling in classes at the college
• Home School students must provide verification of satisfactory completion of courses instructed at the
home school and obtain authorization from the District/High School from which they have been released
• All students must complete the appropriate Rio Hondo College application, and submit this form.
• All pre-requisites must be met and cleared prior to registration
• You must still register for class(es) that have been approved for official enrollment. (Submission of this
petition does NOT constitute official enrollment of classes.)
For information about the above or about enrollment/residency issues, pleas
