The Santa Barbara City College Safety & Security Report is provided to members of the campus community in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act.

Through the School of Extended Learning, Santa Barbara City College offers a wide range of classes in all of which enrollment is on a voluntary basis. Some classes involve physical activity or the use of specialized tools or equipment, and such classes may expose the student to risk of personal injury. Enrollment and participation in classes must be with the assumption of risk by the student who, by registering for the class, voluntarily assumes such risk. Santa Barbara Community College District assumes no liability for injury arising from participation in classes.
All classes are open to persons age 18 or over, unless otherwise noted, or who are not enrolled in a secondary school. Those under 18 who have a high school diploma are also eligible. Exceptions to the age 18 eligibility requirement can be made for a student who submits a “Minor Enrollment Request Form.”
The primary mission of the School of Extended Learning is to educate students eligible for enrollment. Children under the age of 14 are NOT allowed in classrooms except in designated parent education classes or in other offerings designed for parent and child. School of Extended Learning facilities cannot be used as a substitute for child care and children cannot be left unattended or unsupervised on campus. Students not complying with this policy will be informed of the policy provisions and asked to remove their children from the premises. Students failing to comply with such a request shall face dismissal from the class.

Every effort is made to offer a curriculum that is diverse, thought-provoking and responsive to the needs and interests of the community. However, the ideas presented in classes do not necessarily reflect those of the Santa Barbara Community College District, the School of Extended Learning or employees.
Online registration is available approximately two weeks to one month before the term starts. We urge you to register early for your class to secure your space and keep the class from canceling due to low enrollment. Class registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and no visitors or auditors are allowed. For more information go to SEL Admissions and Records.
