DUAL CREDIT ENROLLMENT
Why wait?
If you are a successful student, you can begin your college career NOW and earn credit toward your college degree BEFORE you graduate from high school. There are two options: Dual credit and Early High School Enrollment.
What is Early High School Enrollment?
Students who choose early high school enrollment take courses for college credit in addition to their high school courses. Both options offer courses from across the curriculum. Students are limited to two courses per semester. Some classes may be held at the high school.
What is Dual Credit?
Students who are approved for Dual Credit earn both high school and college credit for a particular course completed successfully before graduation from high school.
