Welcome to Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment is a program that allows high school students in grades 10-12, including home education and private school students, to take college-level classes and simultaneously earn credit toward a high school diploma, a career certificate, an industry certification, an associate degree, or a baccalaureate degree.
- Experience two schools at once - You'll be enrolled in high school and college at the same time.
- Save time and money - Complete college-level courses while in high school to increase the chance of graduating college early.
- Potential certification or degree - It’s possible to earn certifications in high-demand, high-wage professions before graduating high school. Some students gain an associate’s degree alongside their high school diploma.
- Earn transferable credits - Many courses are transferable to colleges and universities across the state, saving you time and money.
- Prepare for College- Prepare for college-level learning before enrolling full-time in college. Learn the expectations and responsibilities of college coursework, setting you up to succeed later down the road.
Things to Consider
Students interested in Dual Enrollment are encouraged to talk with their high school counselor. Students, parent/guardians, and counselors should together carefully assess whether Dual Enrollment is a good fit for the student. Students should be aware that college courses are typically more rigorous than high school courses and move at a faster pace. Also, Dual Enrollment courses result in college credits and grades become a part of the student’s permanent college record.
