High School Students

Current High School Students

Qualified students who have not yet graduated from high school may be admitted for concurrent enrollment at Pasadena City College in college transfer or advanced vocational courses upon recommendation of the school principal (parental approval required if under 18) or counselor, if they have availed themselves of all alternate sources of obtaining the desired instruction within the student’s school district, have the approval of the parent(s) and the Associate Dean of Admissions and Records, and meet special admission criteria. Such students are limited to 9 units (6 units in winter/summer intercessions).

Nongraduates of High School

Nongraduates of high school who are 18 years of age or older may be admitted to Pasadena City College if it appears that they can profit from instruction at the college level. However, it is recommended that students who have not had a semester lapse since high school contact the Community Education Center and seek alternatives as to how they may complete their high school graduation requirements. Students who complete the High School Proficiency Examination with satisfactory scores and present the Certificate of Proficiency may be admitted to Pasadena City College.
