É«ÖÐÉ«

Students must be enrolled in at least one credit course at É«ÖÐÉ« (or another participating California Community College) to be eligible to cross-enroll. Students must also meet the following requirements:

• Have at least a 2.0 GPA or a not yet established GPA at their É«ÖÐÉ« College
• Have no outstanding fees at their É«ÖÐÉ« College
• Not have an out-of-state address on file at their É«ÖÐÉ« College

To enroll in an exchange course follow these steps: 

1. Sign into  and identify your É«ÖÐÉ« College (É«ÖÐÉ«).
2. Searches for classes sorted by category (CSU, IGETC, or topic)
3. Select the desired course for enrollment.
   • Classes marked Add Class are eligible for instant enrollment.
   • Classes marked Apply Now are not eligible for instant enrollment, but you can still enroll by filling out an application via CCC Apply.

Once you are enrolled in a CVC Exchange course, the course will appear on your É«ÖÐÉ« College's Canvas dashboard. You will log into Canvas using your É«ÖÐÉ« College login credentials and all of your CVC Exchange courses will appear once your instructor has made the course available. 

CVC Exchange students who are simultaneously enrolled at both their É«ÖÐÉ« and Teaching Colleges may be able to receive federal and state financial aid funds based on combined units taken at both colleges. Be sure to contact É«ÖÐÉ«'s Financial Aid Office to get more information. Eligibility will be determined by the student’s É«ÖÐÉ« College. 

• Students using the CVC Exchange are subject to the payment policies of the college that is offering the class, i.e. the Teaching College. Since a college may have a drop for non-payment policy and deadline date; it is in a student’s best interest to pay for classes at the time of enrollment in order to secure a seat in the class. Even if a student initially chooses the credit card option to pay for classes, eligible students are still allowed and encouraged to apply for both the CCPG and Federal Financial Aid at the time of payment. If approved for either or both CCPG and Federal Aid, students who may have used the credit card option will be appropriately reimbursed.

  1. Pay with credit card: The option to pay with a credit card through the payment portal is the most immediate payment option available to Exchange students.
  2. California Colleges Promise Grant (CCPG): Students who are eligible California residents, may apply for the California Colleges Promise Grant (CCPG) which can waive enrollment fees for qualified students for the entire school year.
  3. Federal Financial Aid: If an Exchange student is qualified to receive Federal Financial Aid from their É«ÖÐÉ« College, to help cover the cost of tuition and fees for classes being taken at the Teaching College; they may request Federal Financial Aid from their É«ÖÐÉ« College.

Refunds are subject to the policies and procedures of the college offering the course (Teaching College). The Teaching College is also responsible for processing individual refunds. If you dropped a class through the Exchange platform, please select the refund policy page below for the Teaching College where you dropped the class for more information on how to obtain a refund for your dropped class.

Students wanting to use the Exchange must consent to have their transcripts automatically shared from the Teaching College to the É«ÖÐÉ« College at the end of the term. The Exchange informed consent statement at the time of enrollment specifies that a student must consent to having their transcripts automatically shared with the É«ÖÐÉ« College. This consent acts as the request for any classes taken through the Exchange.

A student's Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS) status or accommodations determination will not automatically transfer to the Teaching College. If you need an accommodation, please contact DSP&S.
