Why should it matter to your employer if you are in school? If your employer is asking for evidence of going to college for scheduling consideration, they why would you not give it to him/her? Otherwise, if going to college has nothing to do with employment, you may not have to provide it.

I know of no reason why the employer may not require this, especially if you are requesting scheduling accomodations around your class schedule. Is there some reason why you do not wish to comply with what appears to be a reasonable request?

I don't see any downside to providing the information, especially, if as I suspect, the employer is contributing to your college costs or accommodating your college schedule. California is an "at will" employment state, and you can be fired for no reason whatsoever, so take that into consideration when making your decision.
