Under this program students may attend Evergreen Valley College as a special part-time student. Students may take courses to supplement their high school education program. Basic skills courses are NOT available to concurrently enrolled students. Concurrent Enrollment is designed for students who can benefit from advanced academic and vocational courses.

This form identifies the specific college courses that may be taken. Students may enroll in one course each semester.

All students, unless a Continuing Student, must complete a formal Application for Admission prior to registering. Applications are available at the Admissions and Records Office and online at www.evc.edu.
