By district policy, "every course, course section or class shall be open to enrollment and participation by any person who has been admitted to the School of Continuing Education (SCE)”.

CLASSES
ADMISSION TO CLASSES: Students are admitted on a first come, first served basis. Students are not permitted to attend classes in which they are not officially enrolled. This means NO petitioning or auditing in an SCE class (ECE classes are an exception). Classes "filled" may mean there is a "waiting list" already established for students wanting to attend. Non-Tuition Classes: You must attend first day of class or you may lose your spot!

CLASS CANCELLATIONS: If class attendance drops, classes may be canceled.

CLASS SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE: SCE has made every reasonable effort to determine that this class schedule is accurate, however changes may occur after press time.

CLASS ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend all classes, or the class maybe cancelled. Non-tuition classes may be discontinued during the trimester if attendance drops. Tuition classes, however will continue according to schedule once they have started.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND POLICY: SCE knows that in exceptional situations, classes may meet on a weekend preceding or following a holiday. If this happens, instructors are encouraged to discuss holiday calendars with their students, as well as advise their coordinator or dean to ensure site and classroom availability. Once approval is obtained, every effort will be made to communicate arrangements for holiday weekend classes to students, instructors and office staff. It is intended that this procedure will meet program standards and directly benefit students.

BOOKSTORES: Bookstore can be reached at the following locations: Anaheim campus (714) 808-4675; Cypress Campus (714) 484-7336; Wilshire Campus (714) 992-7008.

IN CLASS REGISTRATION: You must be present at the first meeting of any class where in-class registration takes place or you may loose your spot to someone else. A minimum number of students must attend the firs class meeting. Non-tuition classes may be discontinued during the trimester if attendance drops . Tuition classes, however, will continue according to schedule once they have started. NOTE: In class registration is on the "first come, first served" basis, so arrive on time!

Registration Procedures for Students Under the Age of 18

SCE classes are open to those 18 years or older who have been admitted to SCE and are not attending school. Students under 18 who have not graduated from high school may, infrequently, be permitted to attend under special circumstances. It is advisable to contact the administrator (Dean or Provost) at the site where the class is offered prior to obtaining the required permission letter from the school the minor student is currently attending. If permission to enroll is granted by the dean or provost, the minor student may enroll only after the regular registration period so that priority is given to adult students. Children of any age may take Kids' College classes as indicated in the course descriptions.

NAME CHANGE: Students are encouraged to visit one of the SCE campuses to request a name change prior to registration. Students must provide a picture ID when requesting a name change. No name changes will be made during the two weeks of registration.

PARKING

Permit parking spaces are limited.  A purchased parking permit does not guarantee a parking space.  If you do not have a permit, you will be ticketed.  An SCE parking permit applies to any space that is marked for students, or any unmarked space.  Student permits are not allowed in clearly marked 30-minute parking, visitor parking or staff parking spaces; students parking in these spaces will be ticketed. An SCE parking permit is valid at all three campus locations, as well as in student spaces at Fullerton College and Cypress College. Parking permits are refundable prior to the first class meeting only and must be returned to receive a refund.

DMV disabled person placard holders are permitted to park in disabled parking, or any other student or staff space, but must also purchase and post an SCE parking permit.
