1. The Special Admission Program is open to any K-12 student who, in the opinion of the Superintendent/President
or designee, can benefit from instruction.
2. Students may be admitted upon recommendation of the principal, counselor and parent/guardian. All new
students under grade 9 and their parent/guardian must attend an interview with a college official (college dean,
college vice president, counselor, or subject matter instructor), to determine registration eligibility, course
placement, and general advisement.
3. Special Admission students must conform to the College’s academic rules and regulations and the Code of
Conduct expected of all college students.
4. The College reserves the right to exclude or limit registration into programs where the health, safety, instructional
methodology, facility constraints, or legal requirements are deemed inappropriate for Special Admission students.
5. Students that wish to take more than 11 units in the Spring/Fall semester, or 6 units or more in the Summer term,
must complete the Carry an Excess Load portion of this document and obtain the approval (through signature on
this document) of a Solano College counselor.
6. Special Admission students are exempt from paying the California Community College Enrollment Fee if they
register as a part-time student (more than 11 units during Spring/Fall semester, less than 6 units during Summer
term). Special Admission students who register for more than 11 units during Spring/Fall or for 6 or more units
during the Summer must pay the enrollment fee for all units registered. All other fees must be paid by both part-
time and full-time Special Admission students (Health Center Fee, Student Center Fee, Student Representation

of prerequisite course completion and a Request for Transcript Review must be submitted at least ten (10) business
days prior to attempting to register for classes. Prerequisites are strictly enforced and will not be waived. Upon
