Offered by Fremont Union High School District in
collaboration with De Anza College.
De Anza College is the closest community college to FUHSD and the majority of FUHSD students who wish to participate in concurrent enrollment choose to do so with De Anza. For this reason, the information listed on this site is specific only to De Anza College and can also be found on the De Anza College website at http://deanza.edu/outreach/highschoolstudents.html.
However, FUHSD students may attempt to participate in concurrent enrollment with any of the local community colleges; please see their websites for details.
Only junior and senior grade-level (11th or 12th grade) students are eligible to take classes at De Anza College; age does not matter.
De Anza classes are intended for enrichment purposes only (for college credit only) and will not appear on the high school transcript unless it is needed to satisfy a FUHSD graduation requirement and a FUHSD Request for Credit from Outside Educational Institutions form is completed at the high school PRIOR to taking a De Anza course.
See the De Anza/FUHSD Approved Courses to Meet FUHSD, UC and CSU Requirements link in the Forms and Files section to the left, for a list of De Anza courses which will satisfy FUHSD graduation requirements.
Putting De Anza classes on the high school transcript is not always in the student's best interest; talk to a FUHSD Guidance Counselor if this is a concern.
The cost per quarter is $48.00 (may change without notice). This fee does not include books, instructional materials fees, or parking. Non-residents may be subject to De Anza out-of-state fees and some international students may not be eligible, depending upon visa status — please see this website for more information: De Anza Residency Requirements
