Student Information

How does Special Admission help me?

You can earn college credits before graduating from high school. Some high schools will accept college credit to satisfy graduation requirements, however it is up to the individual high school. When you register for a college course you will start an official college transcript that may be submitted to any college or university or used toward a community college degree or certificate.

How can I participate as a Special Admission Student?

Complete the K-12 Special Admissions Permit. At least one parent must sign the form thereby providing permission for the student to enroll in the courses and certifying that they understand that the student will be establishing an official college academic record and that the student is subject to all of the rules, policies, and regulations listed in the College of the Siskiyous college catalog and schedule of classes.

Placement Test-Students who score a minimum of 90 on the COMPASS reading assessment and a minimum of 65 on the COMPASS writing assessment, may register for "up to, and including 12 units per semester." There are no exceptions to the 12-unit limit as per Ed. Code 760001d. The COMPASS is required to register in come courses that have prerequisites.
