Eligibility for Admission

The right of any person to attend Calbright College is conditioned by certain admission and residency qualifications as provided by state and federal law. Admission to Calbright College is open to anyone who is a California resident who possesses a high school diploma or equivalent (certificate of proficiency, GED), is 18 years of age or older, and may benefit from instruction offered. Primary identification verification is done during the application process by the California Community College system-wide application, CCCApply. Under section 54300 of subchapter 4.5 of chapter 5 of division 6 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, students are allowed to submit an application and residency information online with an electronic signature verification. For 2025-2026, Calbright is not admitting nonresident or international students.

Cancellation Policy

Students have the right to cancel their enrollment before beginning any academic activity. A student is considered to have begun the program once they complete an academic activity, which includes, but is not limited to, submitting an assignment, taking a quiz, or participating in an online discussion board. Before becoming actively enrolled, students may cancel their enrollment from Calbright within their Student Portal or request a cancellation through a Calbright administrator. Calbright administrators may process a student’s request to cancel if a student is unable to do so on their own. After cancellation, no additional materials or services will be provided.

Notice of Transferability of Credits

Transferability of any course or program learning completed at Calbright is determined solely by the receiving institution to which students seek to transfer. Other institutions may or may not recognize Calbright coursework or competencies toward their own academic credentials. Students intending to transfer should consult the receiving institution for guidance.

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Policy

Calbright College recognizes and values the knowledge, skills, and credentials students have acquired through eligible previous work, training, military service, industry certifications, and other non-traditional learning experiences.

CPL decisions are based on equivalencies between Calbright courses and verified industry certifications, workforce experience, training, and other documented learning. Under Calbright’s CPL process:

• A successful CPL request waives the approved course(s), up to 50% of courses in the applicable program, allowing students to progress without repeating what they have already mastered.
• All CPL determinations are made using consistent, transparent criteria vetted by faculty, industry experts, and credentials.
• Students may appeal a CPL denial by providing additional or improved documentation that demonstrates how their prior learning meets the program’s course requirements and outcomes.
  CPL is provided at no cost to students and does not affect program quality or the credential earned.

Pursuant to the guidelines outlined in §55050 Credit for Prior Learning, Calbright’s CPL process has been designed to reduce barriers, recognize achievement, and accelerate student progress, while ensuring that all graduates meet the same high competency standards.
