College & Career Access Pathways (CCAP)

In CCAP Dual Enrollment, students enroll in AHC courses offered as part of a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership agreement between the Allan Hancock Community College District and the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District. Classes taught at a high school during school hours are restricted and are only open to students from a participating high school district. Classes taught at a high school campus outside of school hours are open to the public.  Students receive both high school and college credit for completing courses in the Dual Enrollment program.

See your school counselor for more information to get you enrolled in Fall or Summer Dual Enroll courses at PVHS.

High School Enrichment (formerly known as College Now!)

In High School Enrichment (Non-CCAP), students enroll in AHC courses that are not covered by a CCAP partnership agreement with the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District. These courses are typically taken outside of the regular high school day. Enrollment fees are waived, but college-related fees apply (fees are typically $26-$50 per semester) . Students are also responsible for the cost of any books and supplies. Students receive college credit for courses taken, but their high school will determine if they are able to receive dual credit toward their high school graduation requirements as well. 

See your school counselor for more information and get signed up for Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer courses.
