COUNSELING NEWS AND UPDATES

Attention all Students: Summer School Forms are now available online (click below). If you have failed a class you will need to retake it over summer in order to stay on track for graduation. If you earned a D in any of the A-G requirements you will also want to enroll in summer school as UC/CSU schools (as well as most colleges) do not consider a D as a passing grade. If you are not sure, see your counselor ASAP.

New COC Enrollment Policy: Only 11th and 12th grade students are eligible for concurrent enrollment at COC.

Concurrent enrollment students will no longer be eligible to take their Physical Education classes at COC.
Please keep in mind that due to budget cuts the summer school course offerings have been dramatically reduced. Therefore, it will be difficult for high school students to get into a class. Knowing this, please make other arrangements (see your counselor for details)

Students interested in taking any online courses note that the BYU proctoring is recommended to be completed through COC. See counselor for details.

Seniors taking BYU online classes needed for graduation must complete them (including the final exam) prior to Winter Break.
