be enrolled concurrently at their
high schools and at Citrus College.

and submit an application

form, which requires signatures
from a parent and from a counselor
or principal, is available online

are offered at Azusa, Claremont,
Duarte and Monrovia high schools

counseling office at these respective
high schools.
Distance Education (Online
Classes)
Distance Education classes utilize
computer technology to deliver instruction
to students who may
have schedule constraints, live at a
distance, or have a physical disability.
These classes have the
same content and meet the same
requirements as traditional classes,
but provide a more flexible way for
students to take courses. Many of
these online classes require orientations
and testing on campus;
some classes require no campus
attendance at all.
Students who do well in online
courses are typically self-motivated,
organized, and proactive
about their education. Some
knowledge of how to use a computer
is helpful. In addition, online
classes rely heavily on the
exchange of information through
reading and writing, so a proficiency
in these skills is important.
For a complete list of available
classes, or for more information,
visit the Distance Education web
site at www.citruscollege.edu/de
or call the Distance Education office
at 626-914-8831.
Transcripts
Official high school transcripts are
required of new students who attended
high school within the last
three years. Official college transcripts
are required of new students
who were previously
enrolled in a college or university.
Transcripts from all colleges attended
are required.
To ensure a smooth registration
process it is recommended that
transcripts are received and are
on file prior to a student's registration
appointment. This may expedite
clearance to enroll in
courses with prerequisites. Transcripts
are also required for financial
aid and veteran's benefits
consideration.
Transcripts from colleges accredited
by one of the regional associations
of the Accrediting
Commission for Junior Colleges
may be evaluated during a student's
first semester of attendance
at Citrus College.
Transcripts from non-accredited
colleges are sometimes evaluated
for prerequisite and course placement.
Military service credits based
on a DD-214 are posted after a
veteran’s first semester of attendance.
