Will you be taking classes at GWC as a Dual Enrollment student or a Concurrent Enrollment student?

DUAL ENROLLMENT STUDENTS

Only high school students in the Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) or the Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) can take Dual Enrollment classes for high school and college credit.

Click on the Dual Enrollment Courses button below to view the list of classes HBUHSD students can sign up for. GGUSD students should contact their high school counselors for details on which Dual Enrollment courses they may sign up for.

NOTE: Dual Enrollment students can enroll in 8 units or less in the summer semester and 15 units or less in the fall or spring semesters.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT STUDENTS

High school students not enrolled at a HBUHSD or GGUSD school, or those interested in taking a regular GWC class for college credit, can consult the college schedule to view the list of available classes using the green button below.

Some classes have pre-requisites and are not applicable for high school students. Students will not be able to enroll in a class if they have not satisfied the pre-requisite requirements. You can view course descriptions and pre-requisite requirements for all GWC classes here: GWC Catalog.

NOTE: Concurrent Enrollment students can enroll in 8 units or less in the summer semester and 11 units or less in the fall or spring semesters.

Golden West College cannot grant any high school student permission to enroll without getting the signed permission from their parent/legal guardian (if the student is under the age of 18) and their high school principal. There are 2 different forms, depending on the type of course a high school student wants to take at GWC. High school students must submit the correct form each semester to be given permission to enroll.

Dual Enrollment Students

Only high school students in the Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) or the Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) can take Dual Enrollment classes for high school and college credit.

Dual Enrollment students will click on the button below to submit the Dual Enrollment Release Form.

Need help? Click on the Dual Enrollment Release Form Guide button below for detailed instructions on completing the online release form.

NOTE: Students will need to create a new account with Dynamic Forms the first time they fill out and submit a form online (your GWC username and password will not work). Students will need their own account with their name and email address. The form will be emailed to the parent to sign after the student submits it. The student's parent needs to create their own Dynamic Forms account as well (the student and parent need to have separate accounts to be able to sign the form electronically). After the parent signs the form, it will be sent automatically to the student's high school principal to sign. GWC cannot process a form that does not have unique signatures for the student, their parent/legal guardian (if under the age of 18), and their high school principal.

Concurrent Enrollment Students

High school students not enrolled at a HBUHSD or GGUSD school, or those interested in taking a regular GWC class for college credit, can request permission to enroll at Golden West College using the Special Part-Time High School Release Form below.

Need help? Click on the Concurrent Enrollment Release Form Guide button below for detailed instructions on completing the online release form.

NOTE: Students will need to create a new account with Dynamic Forms the first time they fill out and submit a form online (your GWC username and password will not work). Students will need their own account with their name and email address. The form will be emailed to the parent to sign after the student submits it. The student's parent needs to create their own Dynamic Forms account as well (the student and parent need to have separate accounts to be able to sign the form electronically). After the parent signs the form, it will be sent automatically to the student's high school principal to sign. GWC cannot process a form that does not have unique signatures for the student, their parent/legal guardian (if under the age of 18), and their high school principal.

Dual Enrollment Students

Dual Enrollment students who submit the Dual Enrollment Release Form online will be automatically enrolled in the selected course(s) that have been approved by their high school principal and parent/legal guardian (if under the age of 18). Students do not need to log on and register themselves.

Students will receive an email notification confirming their course registration once it has been processed. Please note this can take several business days to receive due to the volume of release forms the GWC Admissions and Records office has to manually process each semester. We appreciate your patience.

Please note that all HBUHSD students taking GWC courses in the Summer 2021 term will need to register themselves in the approved course(s) once their registration window opens, since they will be taking courses through Concurrent Enrollment. You can find detailed instructions to help you register, pay fees, check to see if your course has a textbook, and more here: Next Steps for High School Students

Concurrent Enrollment Students

Concurrent Enrollment students will need to log on to their MyGWC portal to register once their Special Part-Time High School Release Form has been processed. Students will receive an email notification with next steps once they are able to register. Email us at dualenrollment@gwc.cccd.edu if you have any questions.
