 High School Student
Dual Enrollment Checklist

Step 1   Apply Online
Complete a CCCApply Admission Application online. Click on "Enroll Now" on our website to access this link.

 Step 2  Search for Sections
Visit the  WebAdvisor page and go to the "Search for Sections" link on the left hand side of the main menu. When prompted, insert the term and subject of interest and hit submit. This will take you to a listing of all the current classes available for that specific term and subject including: time of day, instructor, days of the week that the class will meet, class start date, etc. Take note of this information for the specific classes you are interested in and include the section number (also known as synonym) for registration purposes.

Step 3  Complete the High School Permit to Attend

Complete the High School Permit to Attend form, available online. Make sure all signatures are included: Student, Parent, and Principal and bring it in person to the Admissions and Records Office. If any signatures are missing, you will not be able to register for classes.
  • A High School Permit to Attend form is needed each term you wish to enroll in college courses while you are in high school.
  • You may only register or add courses that are listed on your Permit to Attend Form.  If you wish to add a class not listed on the Permit to Attend Form, you must complete another form.
  • If you are enrolling in a PE course, you must obtain an add code from the instructor on the first day of class.

Step 4  Assessment and Additional Paperwork, if necessary
           Enrolling in a course that has a prerequisite:

  • If you are planning to take an English or Math course, you are required to take an assessment test.  Placement in courses will be dependent on test scores.
  • If you have taken the NVC prerequisite required for the course while you were in High School, fill out the Prerequisite Equivalency Petition available online. You will need to attach a copy of your High School Transcript and bring it to the Admissions and Records Office. 
  • High School Integrated Math III Equivalency. 

    Students who have completed Integrated MATH III, who have earned a grade of C are eligible to enroll in courses with the prerequisite of MATH-90.  Students who have earned a grade of B or better are eligible to enroll in courses with the prerequisite of MATH-94.
  • If you have not taken the NVC prerequisite required for the course you wish to enroll in, you will need to bring a copy of your High School Transcript and meet with a Counselor to complete a Prerequisite Challenge Petition.

Step 5  Register for classes

If you have any questions about Napa Valley College courses or programs including transfer to the University of your choice, please consult a Napa Valley College Counselor after you have completed the application.  Please be aware of all deadline dates by checking the Admissions & Records Calendar and adhere to all college rules and regulations. NVC Student Services staff and faculty are here to serve you, so do not hesitate to ask for help.
