What is Dual Enrollment?

Bergen Community College’s Dual Enrollment Program provides an opportunity for high school students to earn college credit by taking college-level courses at their high school. These courses are taught by high school teachers who meet college-level educational standards.


The dual enrollment program is available to high school students of junior and/or senior standing who have demonstrated academic readiness and have received the recommendation of their guidance counselor, school administrator, and parents.

Why take a Dual Enrolled class?

  • Students have the ability to earn college credits while simultaneously fulfilling high school requirements

  • Students experience an enhanced and challenging level of learning

  • College credits are generally transferable to most NJ colleges/universities (www.njtransfer.org) and many post-secondary institutions out-of-state

  • College courses are offered at a significantly reduced rate of tuition in a substantial financial savings towards college education

  • Students gain an earlier insight into potential careers

How much does it cost?

The tuition for the 2019-2020 academic year is set at $73.25 per credit plus the annual $15.25 registration fee. Students will be able to pay online using a credit card (fee attached) or debit card. Students can also pay with a check or money order mailed to BCC, 400 Paramus Road, Room A-221, Paramus, NJ 07652.

Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch do not have to pay any tuition fees, only a registration fee of $15.25.

Once the online portion of the form is completed, students will be required to print the form and have it signed by their parent and a guidance counselor from their high school. The signed form will then need to be uploaded to an online portal to complete the registration process.

Course requirements:

Students must meet minimum requirements of a 2.75 or higher cumulative g.p.a. and demonstrate the ability to successfully complete the course. Accordingly, admission to the Dual Enrollment Program is a selective process. It is important to note that grades earned through the Dual Enrollment Program are reflected on permanent academic records.
