What’s new at Ohlone!
new Portable Classrooms at
Both fremont and newark Campuses!
It’s an exciting time at Ohlone as preparation is underway for the new Academic Core on the Fremont campus.
The Academic Core will be a new core of academic buildings which will house most of the educational offerings
on the Fremont campus at Ohlone. As a result of the 2012 District Facilities Master Plan it was identified that
many of the existing buildings needed to be replaced, which will allow the Fremont campus to become more
accessible to students as well as meeting current codes and energy efficiencies. Academic programs that will be
included in the new Academic Core buildings include Science, Arts, General Education, and Learning Resources
(Tutoring, Library, study areas, etc.). The new Academic Core buildings will replace existing Buildings 1, 2, and 8
on the Fremont campus.
In preparation for the new Academic Core on the Fremont campus, portable classrooms are being used. The
portable classrooms are located in Parking Lots B and C on the Fremont campus and in Parking Lot A on the
Newark campus.
How do I know if my class is located in a portable?
n
All classes in portables on the Fremont campus have
fP

of the room number (example FP-2).
n
All classes in portables on the Newark campus have
nP
(for “Newark Portable”) at the beginning

Kindergarten-12th Grade Students
The term “special admission” applies to students who are
currently enrolled in Kindergarten-12th grade. These students
may enroll in Ohlone College courses that are UC/CSU
transferable on a space-available basis. These students must also
meet any and all course prerequisites to be eligible for
enrollment. For courses in English and Math this usually requires
that the student take an Ohlone placement test. Kindergarten-12th grade coursework may not be used to waive college
prerequisites. Parental and principal or school official approval
is also required. PE and ATHL classes are not available for any
Kindergarten-12th grade student enrollment.
Kindergarten-12th grade students are exempt from paying the
California Community College Enrollment Fee ($46 per unit) but
are subject to the $5 Electronic Access Fee, $19 Health Services
Fee, and the optional $5 Student Activity Fee, unless all classes
are off campus.
All Kindergarten-12th grade students are required to submit a
new application packet every term. Forms, directions, and
timelines are available on the Ohlone Web site at
www.ohlone.edu/admissions/k12admission.html/.
Kindergarten-9th Grade Students
Kindergarten-9th grade students may register only in a limited
number of course offerings. The list of approved courses is
available at www.ohlone.edu/admissions/k12admission.html/
and in the Kindergarten-9th grade application packet. Students
need to submit their completed application packet by the due
date. This date is available on pages 2 and 3 of this Class Schedule
and online at www.ohlone.edu/admissions/k12admission.html/.
Early application is encouraged. The first day that admitted
Kindergarten-9th grade students will be able to register is the

10th-12th Grade Students
Students in grades 10-12 are only allowed to take CSU and UC
transferable courses. These courses are identified in this Class

“The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a
federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their
children’s education records, the right to seek to have the
records amended, and the right to have some control over the
disclosure of personally identifiable information from the
education records. When a student turns 18 years old or enters
a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA
transfer from the parents to the student.” Students who are
enrolled at Ohlone College are covered by the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). According
to this legislation, college personnel cannot release a student’s
records or speak with parents and/or guardians about any
student’s academic records without the student completing the
“Release of Information” form. The exception to this regulation
is if the student is claimed as a dependent by either parent for
tax purposes. Ohlone College reserves the right to require
documents verifying student’s status as a dependent.
