Take College Classes While in High School!

Follow Steps to Enroll

You can also review the application guide.
If you took classes last term and would like to continue in the coming term, you DO NOT need to fill out a new application.
Submit Special Admit form to Enroll
Once you receive your student 8-digit CWID, begin the Dual Enrollment process, by logging into your My Portal Account. Click on Apps in the left menu and select the Adobe Sign Student Foms App.
Watch the video below and/or download and review the Adobe Dual Enrollment Workflow Instructions for the step by step process once you have the App open.

To access your email, select the login option inside the Adobe Sign Student Forms App.
You must complete the special admit form each quarter that you enroll in classes at Foothill, even if you took classes last term.
