Any apprentice, as defined in Labor Code Section 3077, or anyother person who is over 18 years of age who, in the judgment of the Dean of Enrollment Services, is capable of profiting from the instruction offered at the College may also be admitted.  \nA student under the age of 18 who has completed high school from a U.S. regionally accredited or foreign high school or who possesses a GED or a California High School Certificate of Proficiency or the equivalent, may be admitted as regular students, but must submit official proof of completion to Admissions & Records in order to remove the “Under 18” years of age hold from the student’s record.  \nSMC will not accept the CHSPE, HiSET, TASC, or GED diploma without the score report.  \nStudents who have completed 8th grade and are at least 13 years of age or who are currently attending high school may be admitted to Santa Monica College as part of the High School Concurrent Enrollment program and receive credit for SMC courses. Students may only attend on a less than full-time basis. For further information, refer to [smc.edu/hsce](smc.edu/hsce) or visit the Admissions Office.  \nEach student applying for admission or enrollment is classified as a“resident” or a “nonresident” for purposes of admission and/or tuition.

A student seeking to enroll exclusively in noncredit courses, such as career development and college preparation courses, may be admitted to SMC once a noncredit application is completed. These students are not subject to the residency determination requirements of students enrolling in credit programs/ courses. Students with F-1/F-2 status may not be admitted to noncredit programs. Students residing outside California are ineligible for enrollment in noncredit programs.  \nAdmission of F-1 and F-2 Status Students  \nApplications will be accepted from those who wish to enter Santa Monica College with an F-1 or F-2 status. F-1 and F-2 students will be admitted for all terms. F-1 students are required to enroll in credit programs of 12 or more units in the fall and spring semesters.
