Dual Enrollment allows the Community College campus to form a partnership with local K-12 districts that enables high school students (9th to 12th) to take a college class at their high school for college credit. The high school student will be awarded both college credits and high school credit for the single course. Students are eligible for Dual Enrollment provided they complete the admission application online and have approval from the high school principal or their designee.
Note: Not all high schools offer the opportunity for students to take Dual Enrollment classes. Students must first check with their high school counselor to determine if a Dual Enrollment class is offered at their campus.
What are the advantages of dual enrollment for a student?
Dual Enrollment is an opportunity to take challenging courses and accelerate educational opportunities. Students who successfully complete Dual Enrollment courses receive many benefits. However, there are some possible disadvantages that all students must take into account when enrolling in a Dual Enrollment class. Possible disadvantages are:
If a student needs additional support to complete regular general education high school classes adding the additional strain of the college class may not be the best choice. Students need to consider future plans when deciding if Dual Enrollment is right for their situation.
