Adults over 18 who are not currently enrolled in a day high school may attend classes. Day school seniors, checking out of local and neighboring high schools and transferring to the adult school for graduation the same year will be required to meet day school graduation requirements in full. Approval from the day school counselor and adult school counselor is necessary.

    Registration is on a first-come basis, depending on prerequisites. High school diploma students must see an adult education counselor before registering. Most other students can register in class the first day and time the course is offered.

    Continuing career and technical education students who are working on a career cluster certificate can preregister for some classes. Otherwise, registration is on a first-come basis, with prerequisites met. Students must be in line and remain there. Places may not be held for others.

    There is no registration fee to attend the El Monte-Rosemead Adult School. There is a small fee to attend community-based programs, and some courses may have a small fee for materials. Please check with the classroom teacher for details. Books and other supplies purchased at our bookstores must be paid in cash. Checks and credit cards are not accepted.

   Classes with less than 18 students in attendance may be cancelled or consolidated. Students are urged to attend class regularly.

   The Adult Education Program is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the California State Department of Education.

   The El Monte Union High School District provides equal employment opportunities for men and women and does not discriminate in educational programs and activities or in the employment of personnel and the process therein on the basis of national origin, race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age or any other basis prohibited by law.

   The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School Complaint Grievance Resolution Procedure has been designed to provide each potential or actual student or participant with a means of expression and recourse when he or she feels they have been treated unfairly.

   The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School has policies for students and employees that prohibit sexual harassment. These written policies are available at the reception desk at Ramona and Rosemead Adult Centers and the principal's office at the Ramona Center.

   The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School will be responsive to the student population and the community that it serves. Classes will be offered to enhance the knowledge and skills necessary to participate effectively as citizens, workers, parents, and family members in a changing society. It is our goal to help students better their quality of life and become life-long learners..
