Frequently Asked Questions

  • First, check the email you used on your OpenCCC application — your SBVC ID number is usually there.
  • If you don’t see it, you can search for it here (only if you included your Social Security number on your application).
  • If you still can’t find it, call the Dual Enrollment Office at (909) 384-4467 and we can look it up for you.

  • Remember, it’s your responsibility to register on time. 

 

  • Dual Enrollment students in California don’t pay per-unit course fees — those are waived. 
  • You may still need to pay other small fees, like health or student service fees, depending on your school district. 
  • There’s also a limit on how many units you can take through your school’s Dual Enrollment program — up to 11 or 15 units in fall and spring, and up to 8 units in summer. 
  • If you’re not sure what applies to you, check with your high school Dual Enrollment designee. 
  • Some school districts pay for textbooks and materials — others don’t.

  • If you’re not sure, ask your high school or Dual Enrollment office
  • If you need to request a different course, you’ll need to submit a Course Change Request through the SBVC Portal. 
  • Note: Course change requests are only accepted up to three (3) weeks before classes start. 
  • No. Because of FERPA, we can’t share student information with parents over the phone. 
  • If your student has a question about their classes or records, they’ll need to contact us directly.
