in more than 11 units in a regular quarter, or more than six units in summer, at De Anza College, Foothill College or both colleges combined.

Under federal regulations, students without a high school diploma are no longer eligible for federal financial aid. De Anza recommends that students who are close to earning a high school diploma or GED complete those requirements, when possible, in order to apply and be considered for financial aid when they attend De Anza.
Before enrolling in English or math courses, or any course that has an English or math prerequisite, high school students must complete the assessment process to be placed in the right course for their skill level.
High school students attending De Anza are held to the same requirements, standards and policies as other college students, and should be aware of the Student Code of Conduct. They also receive the same protections under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act as other students, and their records cannot be released to family members without their consent.
Because De Anza offers courses at a college level, students and their families should be aware that course content may be adult in nature. De Anza also recommends that parents be aware of the “open” campus environment and discuss safety and accountability issues with their student prior to enrollment.
All coursework earned at De Anza is to be reported to any transfer college or university to which the high school student applies. Transcripts will not be automatically mailed to the student or the student’s high school. Grade information can be accessed through MyPortal. Official transcripts may be requested through MyPortal or by ordering from De Anza’s authorized transcript provider. For more information visit deanza. edu/admissions/order-transcripts.
SUMMER SESSION
De Anza offers day and evening summer classes in sessions of varying lengths. Summer courses are comparable in academic standards, content and earn similar credits as classes offered during regular quarters. Summer enrollment enables students to complete prerequisites or accelerate their progress. High school students who have completed ninth grade may take enrichment or vocational courses during summer session, or enhance their college applications by completing college-level work. All regular term attendance and academic policies apply to summer sessions.
APPEAL REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Appeal Review Committee is responsible for ensuring consistent, fair and equitable handling of student petitions for exceptions to academic and registration rules. The committee handles evaluation, enforcement, interpretation and granting exceptions for cause. Under committee rules, each case must stand on its own merit. Visit deanza. edu/admissions/arc for more information.
ATTENDANCE
Instructors determine individual class attendance policies, which are distributed to students at the beginning of each quarter. State guidelines also recommend that absences in excess of one week’s class meetings may be considered excessive. Instructors may drop students from a class for excessive absences; if this occurs, the class will be counted against the total number of enrollments allowed for the course.
AUDITING CLASSES
Students who have satisfactorily completed a class for the maximum allowable times may be able to audit a class for no credit.
Auditing carries no privilege other than to attend classes. Students do not receive credit for an audited course. Instructors have no obligation to grade tests or other class assignments submitted by an auditor; however, an instructor may permit an auditor to participate in class discussions.
Students enrolling for credit will have priority over auditors until the second week of the course, at which time auditors may enroll on a space available basis.
Students wishing to audit should contact the instructor. If the instructor approves, they will submit the necessary form to the Admissions and Records Office.
A $10 fee is assessed for audited classes; however, there is no charge for the first five units of an audited course for students enrolled in 15 or more quarter units for credit.
No student auditing a course shall be permitted to change his or her enrollment to receive credit for the course. Course audits may not be approved to override repetition rules.
CATALOG RIGHTS
The college catalog serves as an agreement between the college and students. Students should be aware of published requirements, regulations and guidelines. De Anza students may follow the degree, certificate and general education requirements in effect for the catalog year in which they first enroll, or
