You will need them to register for classes each quarter.
Determine college placement.Juniors must take both the English and Math placement tests to determine which Foothill College courses they may register for. You can sign up for an appointment at the Foothill Testing & Assessment Office (Bldg. 8200, Rm. 8212) online.
Seniors can determine their eligibility for Foothill classes by providing a copy of their latest high school transcript to the Foothill Testing & Assessment Office (Bldg. 8200, Rm. 8212). Transcripts can be dropped off in the Assessment Office or emailed to fhtesting@fhda.edu. Get permission for classes.High school students attending Foothill College must complete a Concurrent Enrollment Form (Dual Enrollment Form) prior to the start of each college quarter. The form must be reviewed and approved by both parents and the CollegeNow! Advisor to make sure students are on track to meet their high school graduation requirements.
Start by reviewing the Foothill College course catalog to find classes that your are interested in taking and that also meet your high school graduation requirements. It is strongly advised that you list at least 10 courses on your form, since all courses are not offered each quarter. Return the completed and signed form to your CollegeNow! Advisor. Set up an appointment to review your course selection. Once approved, the course permissions will be added to your Foothill account. You will then be able to register for classes. Note: Adding permissions to the Foothill system does not automatically register you for classes; you will need to log in to MyPortal to register for classes. Also, you cannot register for a class that is not listed on your form; any additional classes need to be added to your Concurrent Enrollment Form and submitted to your CollegeNow! Advisor. Register for classes.Once you have submitted your Concurrent Enrollment Form, you can register for classes. Allow approximately 5 days for the form to be processed. CollegeNow! students can start registering for classes online through MyPortal on the following days:
