Concurrent Enrollment Program CSM's Concurrent Enrollment Program enables eligible high school students to enroll in afternoon, evening or Saturday classes at College of San Mateo while they're still in high school. If you qualify, you may take up to two college classes each semester, provided you maintain minimum daily attendance in high school. Another popular option is taking classes during the summer session. Regardless of when you take classes, the enrollment fee and health services fee are waived if you've been a California resident for at least a year. One important feature of this enrichment program is that participants can get an early start on a college education by fulfilling college requirements.
Most courses are transferable to four-year colleges and universities.
This means, for example, that you can fulfill general education and lower division requirements at CSM, often in classes with far fewer people than you'd find in a comparable class at a large university. Interested students must submit a Concurrent Enrollment Program application, together with the required recommendation and a current high school transcript. Applications are available in local high school counseling offices and career centers.
