Can I take an online class if I'm not from the Madera area?
Currently, High School Enrichment classes are only available to students who attend school/reside in the State Center Community College District service area. If you are unsure whether you fall in this area, please give us a call at (559) 675-4160 for clarification.
Am I required to complete the online orientation?
High School Enrichment students do not need to complete the online orientation. If you complete the online orientation, it will not count towards the orientation required of all high school graduates who are enrolling at MCC as a regular student.
I am a high school senior and already applied to the college with my high school. Do I need to fill out another application?
Yes, the High School Enrichment/Dual Enrollment application is different than the application seniors fill out for regular admission after graduation. If you want to take classes during your senior year as well as classes after you graduate high school, you will need to fill out both online applications using the same CCCApply account. The regular application can be found on the Local High School Students webpage.
Why do I get an error message on Self-Service when I try to register for a class?
High School Enrichment students cannot register themselves into classes even if you receive a Permission to Register or Add Authorization. Once you submit your online application and your High School Enrichment Packet, you will be notified via your SCCCD email when/if you are registered for your selected class(es). If you need to register for or add a class, in which you received a Permission to Register or Add Authorization for, you will need to email admissions@maderacollege.edu and dualenrollment@maderacollege.edu to process this for you.
How do I drop a class?
High School Enrichment students are not allowed to drop classes themselves. If you want to drop a class, you must email admissions@maderacollege.edu and dualenrollment@maderacollege.edu. This email should be sent from your SCCCD email. The subject line of the email should say High School Enrichment and the body of the email should include your First and Last Name, College ID Number, the class subject with class number, and the 5-digit section number. For example, History-11-54321.
Are there deadlines for adding or dropping classes?
Yes, there are deadlines for both adding and dropping classes. Those deadlines are published every semester on the Academic Calendar webpage.
What happens if I forget to drop a class or just stop attending the class?
Failing to notify the MCC Dual Enrollment office and Admissions and Records office to drop a class may result in you receiving a “W” or “F” letter grade on your transcripts and possibly becoming ineligible to participate in the High School Enrichment program.
It is your responsibility to notify the MCC Dual Enrollment office and MCC Admissions and Records office if you decide to not take a class after you were successfully registered for the class. All classes will remain on your permanent college transcript. All coursework taken will appear on your SCCCD transcript and may affect your financial aid or academic status at any college after high school. Visit the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy webpage or Satisfactory Progress, Probation, and Dismissal webpage for financial aid and probation policies.
What do I do if I want to take a different class than the one I put in my HSE packet?
To request to take a different class that was not listed on your submitted HSE packet, you will need to submit a new HSE packet with the new class(es) listed.
To request a different section of a class listed on your HSE packet, you would need to email the Dual Enrollment office at dualenrollment@maderacollege.edu. Make sure to include your First and Last Name, SCCCD College ID Number, the class subject with class number, and new 5-digit section number. If you are already registered for a class but want to be enrolled in a different section for that class, please tell us the class and section that you want dropped as well as the class and section you want to add.
What is the difference between a class name and a class section?
A class name refers to a specific class a student may want to take. Examples of classes include ENGL 1A, MATH 4A, or PSY 2.
A class may have one or more class sections. A class section number corresponds to the days, times, instructor, location, format, etc. of any given class. SCCCD class sections are 5 digit numbers located next to a class name, for example ENGL 1A - 76543. ENGL 1A would be the class and 76543 would be the class section number.
What are waitlists?
A waitlist is a list that students can join and wait for seats to open in a class. If a student in the class drops, a seat opens up and is filled by a student on the waitlist. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee you a seat in the class. However, it does give you priority making it more likely you will get a seat in the class.
Waitlists will be active from the first day of registration through the Thursday prior to the start of the term. For short-term classes, the waitlist will close 7 days prior to the start of the class.
How do I register into a class from a waitlist?
If a seat becomes available for you in your waitlisted class, you will receive a "Permission to Register" email notification. The email notification will only be sent to your college email account. Once "Permission to Register" is granted, you have four days (including weekends) to contact our Admissions and Records office to register you in the class. Remember, HSE students cannot register themselves. If you do not contact our Admissions and Records office to register you in the class during the four day “Permission to Register” period, you will be removed from the active waitlist and the next student on the list will be notified.
If you receive a “Permission to Register” email notification, you need to forward the email to admissions@maderacollege.edu and dualenrollment@maderacollege.edu so we can process your registration. The subject line of the email should say High School Enrichment and the body of the email should include your First and Last Name, College ID Number, the class subject with class number, and the 5-digit section number. For example, History-11-54321.
You can also check the status of your waitlisted class(es) in Self-Service by clicking the Academics icon (graduation cap), then selecting Register for Classes/View My Schedule.
What if I forget to check my email?
It is your responsibility to check your email and/or your waitlist status. The time allowed for enrollment will not be extended. Our office is not open on Saturday or Sunday, but your “Permission to Register” can expire on the weekend if the email notification was sent to you on a Wednesday or Thursday. You should check your college email or Self-Service daily to allow yourself the maximum amount of time to enroll.
What if I'm waitlisted for an online class?
If you do not receive a "Permission to Register” email notification before the online class begins, you will need to email the instructor on the first day of the semester to ask if there is room in the class for you to enroll. If there is, the instructor will email you an “Add Authorization” to enroll in the class. Once you receive an “Add Authorization” contact our Admissions and Records and Dual Enrollment offices by email at dualenrollment@maderacollege.edu and admissions@maderacollege.edu so we can process your registration.
What if I’m still on the waitlist when the semester starts?
If you are on a waitlist when the semester begins, you must attend the first class meeting and/or email the instructor to see if there is space available to add the class. If you do not attend or email the instructor the first day of class, you may lose your place on the waitlist and another student may be added instead. If there is space in the class, the instructor will provide you with an “Add Authorization” to enroll in the class. Once you receive an “Add Authorization” contact our Admissions and Records office so we can enroll you in the class.
