CASP and CAPP Programs

The Career Academy Scholars Program (CASP) is a program which allows current high school students an opportunity to enroll at SAC while still being enrolled in high school. The program covers the cost of the class, textbook, and any necessary equipment needed for the course which the student is enrolled in. The high school students receive both high school and college credit, and have their own college counselor to help facilitate a successful higher education experience.
​

The Career Advanced Placement Program (CAPP) allows eligible K-12 students to enroll at a community college for educational enrichment courses.

Students may only register for less than 12 units. College credit is granted for all courses taken under this program. Complete request forms must be submitted to the Admissions Office before students are permitted to register. Final approval rests with Santa Ana College.
 

High school students must follow the following steps:

  1. Obtain CAPP application form from the Admissions or Outreach Offices.

  2. Student must obtain signatures of parent and school principal.
