Dedicated Adult Student counselors

For the Summer, all courses will be online and we are prepared to continue supporting students remotely with their transition. Just a reminder about our virtual resources for your students. Students will be able to complete all their core enrollment services online. 

College updates and Online Resources  

*New* Dual/Concurrent Enrollment 

• Great news! High School Freshman and Sophomores can now participate in De Anza's Dual Enrollment. This policy is effective immediately. Yay!! 
  • Students can still fill out the application and high school permission form (R40), and register for summer quarter classes. However, students can now complete the R40 form through their De Anza MyPortal. These are the instructions I received from A&R: 

1. Log into My Portal  
2. Click on APPS and find "Adobe Student Forms" 
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find Student WorkFlows to submit your request.  
4. Students can fill out the corresponding form, and it can be emailed for the different required signatures. Once completed, the form can be forwarded to the Admissions & Records Office.  

Here is a link to our Dual/Concurrent Enrollment page.  You can also contact our Admissions and Records Office by emailing webregda@deanza.edu if you have any questions. 
 

*New* Next Steps Fridays 

• For any students that have any questions about De Anza College, we will be having weekly zoom info sessions call ed Next Step Fridays. This will be every Friday from 2-3 and we will be covering enrollment steps, Promise, and answering any general questions that students have regarding enrolling at De Anza. 
  • They can access the Next Steps Fridays here 

Orientation/Ed Plan: 

• **New** There are two options for completing orientation.  
  • Option 1: The online orientation lets you work at your own pace, using the Canvas online learning system.  
  • Option 2: The The zoom video workshop option lets you participate in a live video session with a counselor and other students. During the session, the students will be completing their education plans. The zoom orientation will be held every Thursday from 3-4:30 (In June we will be hosting additional sessions on Wednesdays from 10:30 - 12). It will be open to all new students but space is limited per session. 
    • Students can sign up for either orientation on our orientation page.   

Note: Students must first submit the application and receive their De Anza ID number (CWID) before completing the orientation. It normally takes 24-48 business hours for a CWID to be generated. 

Education Plan: 

• We have created a step-by-step tutorial video that can help students create their education plan 
• Students will also complete their Ed Plan during our Zoom Video Orientations 
• Students can also schedule a phone or zoom appointment with one of our outreach counselors by emailing us at outreach@fhda.edu or booking on our online scheduler here. 
   

If students have any questions or need general assistance, please have them they can email us at outreach@fhda.edu.

This checklist is for Adult School Counselors who will go through this with every transitioning Adult School student.

1. Counselors will assist students in completion of career interest inventories and Learning Style inventories  
2. Counselors will help all transitioning adult learner students: a) set career and academic goals; b) identify the individual support services needed to address challenges that might negatively impact each student’s success.
3. Counselors will help students complete their college application/enrollment.
4. Counselors will help students obtain English and Math placement (either through AB 705 or through ESL placement test).
5. Counselors will work with students and complete their FAFSA or California Dream Act applications. 
6. Counselors will make an appointment  for  the  student  with the  receiving college counselor. 

The Adult School Counselors/Transition Advisors will bring Adult School Students to the following events:

• DeAnza Welcome Day  and  Counselor  Connection, September
• Foothill Adult School Visit  and  Counselor  Connection, Spring
• FUHSD College and Career Fair, Spring

Transition Advisors/Counselors  will work with each other as well as Community College Outreach to coordinate dates and times for these annual events.

There will be other events and opportunities as well, but these are currently the three events that all Adult Schools will participate in with their students.

• 1,288 former Adult School students  have been taking classes at either Foothill College or DeAnza College;
• The Adult Schools have more than 20,000 students annually;
• Our schools offer education in ESL, Adult Basic Education, Career Training, Adults with Disabilities, Workforce entry/re-entry, pre-apprenticeship and adults helping K-12 students succeed.
