If your are a high school student or the parent/guardian of a high school student who wishes to take classes here at Palomar, please read and consider the following information:
- These are college level courses:
- These classes require the corresponding amount of work and academic rigor required in a college class that transfers to the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems.
- These classes cover adult subjects and themes. This may include the use of “adult language” in class. Students (and parents/guardians) must be prepared for and accept this.
- If students have diagnosed and documented learning accommodations, the forms must be on file with the Palomar Disability Resource Center (DRC) BEFORE any accommodation can be made.
- Students under 16 years of age must obtain permission from the individual professor to enroll in the class. The decision to admit the student is made solely by the professor teaching the class and is FINAL. The Department Chair or Dean will NOT sign this form over the professor’s objection.
- All communication with the professors, including requests to join the class, MUST come from the STUDENT via their Palomar student email.
- Privacy (FERPA): Parents/guardians cannot speak to professors directly regarding a student’s academic matters. This applies even if the student is under 18 years of age.
- BEFORE being admitted to the class, the student must be enrolled at Palomar College.
- In addition, all the appropriate forms for high school students must be completed and signed.
