Eligibility for Admission
Scholastic: Admission to the college, as prescribed by law, is open to: (1) any high school graduate; and (2) any person over 18 years of age who can demonstrate ability to profit from community college education. High school students who have achieved sophomore status at 16 years of age may be admitted to a limited program upon recommendation of their school principals (See advanced education section for details.) Advanced Education students should contact their school counseling office or the SCC Counseling Office, (916) 558-2204, for enrollment details Students who successfully complete the "Certificate of Proficiency" granted by the state Board of Education will be admitted to Sacramento City College on the same basis as regularly graduated high school students.

Resident: Sacramento City College is a public college under California law. At public community colleges there are certain legal requirements pertaining to residence that must be honored. The application for enrollment includes a "Statement of Residence." Non-resident students do not automatically become California Residents by merely living in the state more than one year. State law also requires proof of intent to establish California residency. Such proof can include filing California Income Tax forms, voter registration, driver license, vehicle registration, and other acts of intent dated one year and one day prior to the start of the semester. The law also requires that the student show no contrary intent, that is, they must not have maintained residence status in their former state (i.e. driver license, taxes, car registration, etc.) The burden of proof rests with the student, not the district. The residency laws do not permit campus officials to waive any portion of the residency requirements. Students must submit a request for reclassification prior to registration.

Resident rules are as follows:

1. A student whose legal residence is in California may attend Sacramento City College. Generally the legal residence of unmarried students under the age of 19 is that of their parents.
   
   
2. California Education Code and Los Rios Community College District policy states that an applicant, regardless of age, who has not established legal residence in California will be considered a "non-resident'' and subject to a tuition fee of $173 per unit plus enrollment fee of $20 per unit.

In addition, students who are both citizens and residents of a foreign country will be assessed an additional $18 per unit fee for capital outlay purposes.

Open Courses
It is college policy that every course, course section, or class that receives state apportionment be fully open to enrollment and participation by anyone who has been admitted to the college and who meets such prerequisites as may be established pursuant to Title V of the California Code of Regulations, unless specifically exempted by statute.

Matriculation
Matriculation is a process that assists the student in achieving educational goals. It is an agreement between the college and student who enrolls for credit. We ask that you participate in a partnership with us to ensure your educational success.

Here is how the matriculation process works:

• Admissions
  Admissions materials are available in various languages, and new first-time students are directed to the Information and Orientation Office, Rodda North 138, for an explanation of the matriculation process.
  
  New first-time, non-exempted students who complete the matriculation process are allowed to register during continuing student registration. SCC eServices and telephone registration are available to facilitate the process.
  
  
• Assessment
  Basic skills testing is one part of a complete assessment. All non-exempt students who go through the matriculation process must participate in basic skills testing. By using test results and other relevant criteria, new students and their counselors can determine appropriate placement into Mathematics, English or English as a Second Language classes. You must have assessment results to meet with a counselor. Test calendars and practice tests are available in the Assessment Center, Student Services Building 121.
  
  
• Orientation
  Orientation and advising are provided for all first-time college students. They are generally scheduled weekly throughout the registration period for fall and spring. The sessions cover information about SCC programs, services, policies and procedures. Students desiring additional help are encouraged to augment the pre-registration orientation through Human Career Development courses.
  
  
• Counseling and Educational Plan Development
  All matriculation students must meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan. This plan will recommend courses for the first semester only. Counselors provide advising related to course selection. Additional assistance is available to students who are undecided about their goal. Students should return during their first semester to develop a full educational plan.
  
  
• Register for Classes - SCC eServices and Telephone Enrollment System
  
  At Orientation students will receive information on procedures and dates for telephone registration.
  
  

  A graduated UTP (Universal Transit Pass) fee is charged to all students to a maximum of $15 per semester depending upon the number of enrolled units.

  California resident fees: $20.00 enrollment fee per unit per semester. Enrollment fees may increase for 2007-08.

  Early Assistance
  Students who experience academic difficulty are contacted by the Early Assistance Program.

  Guidelines of Residency
  Nonresident students do not automatically become California Residents by merely living in the state more than one year. State law also requires proof of intent to establish California residency. Such proof can include filing California Income Tax forms, voter registration, driver license, vehicle registration, and other acts of intent dated one year and one day prior to the start of the semester. The law also requires that the student show no contrary intent, that is, they must not have maintained residence status in their former state (i.e. driver license, taxes, car registration, etc.). The burden of proof rests with the student, not the district. The residency laws do not permit college officials to waive any portion of the residency requirements. Students must submit a request for reclassification prior to registration.

  Residence Requirements
  Out-of-state students may be admitted to Sacramento City College provided their applications are approved. Out-of-state students are classified as non-residents. Any person who was not a resident one year prior to the first day of a semester should be considered a non-resident and required to pay non-resident fees.

  The residence determination dates are as follows:

  Summer, 2007 semester - June 10, 2007

  Fall, 2007 semester - August 24, 2007

  Spring, 2008 semester - January 14, 2008

  In addition to enrollment fees, all students classified as non-residents are required to pay a non-resident tuition fee of $160 per unit at the time of registration. In addition, students who are both citizens and residents of a foreign country will be assessed an additional $18 per unit fee for capital outlay purposes. Non-resident tuition fees are refundable only during the first two weeks of a semester or the first week of the Summer Session if the student withdraws from a class or from the college. If a student is erroneously determined to be a non-resident and a tuition fee is paid, the fee is refundable provided acceptable proof of state residence is presented within the period for which the fee was paid. Refund requests will be processed only if accompanied by the receipt issued at the time of payment.

  Fees are subject to change without notice upon approval by the Trustees of the Los Rios Community College District and pending approval by the State Legislature and Governor.

  A non-resident student enrolled without payment of fees because of falsification of information shall be excluded from classes upon notification pending payment of the fee. Written notification may be given at any time. Students excluded because of falsification shall not be readmitted during the semester or summer session from which they were excluded, nor shall they be admitted to any following semester or summer session until all previously incurred tuition obligations are paid.
