Middle College

All Middle College students must successfully complete the Middle College regular high school level (non-Honors, non-AP) English and Social Studies courses regardless of previously earned graduation credit in these subjects and at least (2) academic, three-unit De Anza classes each quarter. Middle College students cannot take more than 16 De Anza units every quarter; in their first quarter, new Middle College students take no more than 11.5 De Anza units.

Middle College students do not pay De Anza registration fees unless they are considered by De Anza to be an out-of-state or international student (see below) or enroll in more than 11.5 college units, but are always responsible for basic and instructional fees, transportation and the cost of De Anza College books exceeding $65 each quarter. Students desiring to take more than 11.5 De Anza units in a quarter must have their Middle College advisor's written approval, pay per-unit fees (currently $31 per unit but subject to increase at any time) and any additional costs for all registered college units.

No. Students must reside within the FUHSD boundaries at all times. Non-California residents who live within the FUHSD boundaries may be subject to De Anza out-of-state fees and some international students may not be eligible, depending on visa status. Please visit the De Anza Admissions webpage for more information.

Students must have completed the FUHSD Math graduation requirement (passed both semesters of Algebra I and Geometry) before entering Middle College--summer school does not count.

In order to receive a priority registration date for the Fall quarter, all Middle College students must complete these three (3) De Anza College requirements: Orientation, Educational Plan and the Fall quarter De Anza application. The three (3) requirements will be completed in the mandatory weekly after-school meetings throughout May. Failure to attend the mandatory meetings and completion of the three (3) requirements at the May meetings will result in immediate removal from Middle College.

Yes. Only FUHSD students who have registered for school with the district and established their residency will be eligible to interview. Please visit the FUHSD Enrollment and Residency webpage for more information.

No. There is not any "senior privilege" allowed for Middle College.

No. Only FUHSD students physically at the FUHSD high school sites may petition for early graduation.

No. Once decisions are sent in April, Middle College recruitment is over for the year; no late requests due to the mandatory weekly pre-registration meetings that will occur throughout May.
