ADA ACCOMMODATION: REQUESTING AND RECEIVING*
The board of trustees of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District upholds that improving access to educational and employment opportunities for people with disabilities must be a priority. The board has directed the administration to take the necessary actions to implement the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
De Anza College and the Foothill- De Anza district shall not discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability, with regard to employment or the provision of district programs, services and activities.
Students who are otherwise qualified may request accommodation related to their disability, provided the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the district. The procedures for requesting accommodation are available from the president’s office, the Disabled Student Services (DSS) program, the office of the ADA coordinator and the district Human Resources office. The ADA coordinator for De Anza College is the dean of Student Development and EOPS, who can be contacted at 408.864.8218.
ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION POLICIES
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
California Residents
Students who have established California residency for at least one year prior to the term in which they wish to enroll and have met residency conditions required by state regulations may enroll as California residents for tuition purposes.
Nonresidents
California residents and residents of other states or territories, who have not resided in the state for one year prior to the term in which they wish to enroll, must pay nonresident tuition when attending De Anza.
Students holding various visas, or undocumented or out-of-status immigrants, may not establish residency and must pay nonresident tuition when enrolling at De Anza. Nonresidents may be able to establish residency if they meet the requirements of California Education Code § 68062. Others may be exempted from paying nonresident fees through AB 540 eligibility (§ 68130.5), which allows certain nonresident students who have attended a California high school for three years and earned a diploma or equivalent to be charged resident fees. (Students with nonstudent visas or who are out of status or undocumented should contact the Admissions and Records office to determine residency and discuss other attendance eligibility requirements.)
Students who are attending another college on an F or F-1 visa, but wish to take a class at De Anza, must submit an official letter from the host college that issued their I-20 form. This letter should state the student’s standing, confirm their full-time status and provide authorization for the student to take specific De Anza classes.
Students seeking residency eligibility based on military active duty status, military dependent status or other military considerations, should contact the Veteran Services office at 408.864.8230 for specific eligibility criteria.
The Foothill-De Anza District uses OpenCCC as its admissions application. This application is very strict about meeting state residency requirements and many applicants are initially given nonresident status based on application answers. Applicants who believe they meet residency requirements need to complete a Residency Reclassification form and provide state- approved documentation for review within two weeks of a new quarter.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
De Anza College admits anyone with a high school diploma, general education diploma (GED) or proficiency certificate, or who is at least 18 years old. High school students may attend De Anza as dual enrolled students if they are currently enrolled in grades 9-12 and have submitted a permission form signed by their high school principal and parent or guardian. High school students who do not provide required documents will be dropped from their courses.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students who have completed fewer than 45 quarter units of college credit are considered freshmen. Students who have completed 45 or more quarter units of college credit, and have not earned a degree, are considered sophomores.
EXCESSIVE DROPS
Under state legislation approved in 2011, students may no longer enroll in the same for-credit course more than three times without successful completion. This includes enrollments leading to substandard grades or withdrawals. Students who have enrolled in the same course twice without passing should see a counselor for assistance or seek tutoring. Students may petition to enroll in the same course a fourth time, but approval will be highly selective, and any additional enrollments in the same course will not be approved.
HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSIONS (DUAL ENROLLMENT)
High school students who are currently enrolled in grades 9-12 may apply to De Anza as special part-time students.
There is no enrollment fee for current high school students who qualify as part- time by taking 11 or fewer units during any regular quarter (fall, winter or spring) – or six or fewer units in the summer. However, students may still incur costs for textbooks and other fees. High school students will be considered full-time – and will be charged enrollment fees and other fees – if they enroll
