APPLY
Apply early to ensure enrollment in the classes that you'll need! This SMC application
is necessary to complete first so that all students can receive their official SMC
student ID number. You will need this to set up Corsair Connect and enroll in your
prescribed classes.
Interested in taking college classes while still in high school? After applying
to SMC, you will also need to apply to the High School Concurrent Enrollment (HSCE)
Program in order to take classes for FREE as a high school student.
The High School Concurrent Enrollment program at Santa Monica College allows eligible
students to enroll in college courses while attending high school and simultaneously
earn college credit. Participating students not only get a “taste” of college but
also get a head start on their college career. Students complete assignments in the
same manner as regularly admitted students and are given a final grade that is posted
on their SMC official college transcript.
Any student currently attending a U.S. high school or a student of at least 13 years
of agewho has recently completed the 8th Grade and has enrolled at a future high school may apply.
Unfortunately, tuition is only waived for California high school students at this
time.
