   Prior editions of the permit are not accepted.

Students often take lab science classes at the junior college to satisfy UC and CSU entrance requirements. Often foreign language is the draw to the campus, or other special interest class that is not available at the school site.  Students also enjoy getting a head start on their Baccalaureate degrees!
