Dual Enrollment Facts & Q's

Real answers. Real opportunities. Everything you wanted to know about taking college classes *before* you even graduate high school.

Nope! It's ALL FREE.

While both programs allow high school students to take college courses, there are important differences:

Dual Enrollment students take college classes that count toward both high school and college credit simultaneously. These courses are typically approved through a partnership between the high school and college, helping students accelerate their educational goals while earning credits in both systems.

Special Admit students are high school students who enroll in college courses independently. While they earn college credit, the courses may not automatically count toward high school graduation requirements unless approved by their high school counselor or district.

Dual Enrollment is available to eligible high school students who want to get a head start on their college education while still completing their high school requirements. Students must typically be enrolled in a participating high school and meet the college's admissions and enrollment requirements.

Through Dual Enrollment, students can take approved college courses that count toward both high school graduation and future college degree or certificate programs. This opportunity allows students to explore academic interests, build college-level skills, and earn valuable college credits before graduating from high school.

Dual Enrollment may be a good fit for students who:

  • Are currently enrolled in high school.
  • Are motivated to take college-level coursework.
  • Want to earn college and high school credit at the same time.
  • Are interested in getting ahead on their educational goals.
  • Have approval from their high school and parent/guardian, if required.

Students should check with their high school counselor and the Dual Enrollment Office for specific eligibility requirements and available courses.

Students should consult their high school counselor and the Dual Enrollment Office for the most current eligibility requirements, including any GPA standards that may apply to their chosen courses or program.

Dual Enrollment students can choose from a variety of college courses designed to help them explore career interests, complete general education requirements, and get a head start on earning a degree or certificate.

Course offerings may include:

  • English and Composition
  • Mathematics
  • History and Political Science
  • Psychology and Sociology
  • Communication Studies
  • Business and Computer Applications
  • Health and Kinesiology
  • Science Courses
  • Career Technical Education (CTE) programs
  • Fine Arts and Humanities

Available courses vary by term, student eligibility, and agreements between the college and participating high schools. Some classes are offered directly at high school campuses, while others may be available online or on the college campus.

Students should review the current class schedule and speak with their high school counselor or the Dual Enrollment Office to learn which courses are available and best fit their academic goals.
