ABOUT COLLEGE CONNECT

 
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) has partnered with Diablo Valley College (DVC), San Ramon to create the CollegeConnect Program for qualified rising 11th and 12th graders. This exceptional educational opportunity provides SRVUSD students with accelerated learning in the company of other college bound students, while preserving their high school experience.
 
Participating CollegeConnect students enroll in a shortened high school schedule so that they may attend college courses. During their 11th and 12th grade years, CollegeConnect students can complete up to 30 units of transferable credit aligned with the University of California’s (UC) and California State University (CSU) Inter-segmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements.  Essentially, successful students may complete their first year of college by the time that they graduate from high school.  Students may choose to continue at DVC and transfer to a UC or CSU as a junior, complete a career certificate in a qualifying field, or earn an associate degree. Students may also choose to transfer approximately one year of college credits to one of the campuses of the California UC or CSU system. 
 
Students apply when they are in their sophomore year. A general information night is usually held in mid to late January with applications due in early February. Please see the Letter to Parents (from January, 2024) PDF or the recorded Information meeting (January, 2024) to learn more.
