What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment Website- Everything you need to know!
EGUSD students have an exciting opportunity to participate in Dual Enrollment, formally called Advanced Education. Dual Enrollment is intended to provide high school students with educational enrichment opportunities at the community college level. Current high school students who are interested in taking classes at one of the Los Rios Community Colleges (ARC, CRC, FLC, or SCC) may enroll in a maximum of 11 units (across the Los Rios district). Applications must be submitted to each individual college.
Eligibility
Am I eligible? Students must be:
● The student has completed eighth grade or will be at least 14 years old by the first day of instruction
(visit the Academic Calendar to find the first day of the full term).
● Student has parental consent to be admitted and enrolled at the college.
● The student is prepared for advanced study as recommended by the high school principal and/or counselor.
● Students must be mature enough to understand the course material and to benefit from the presentation style.
What classes can I NOT take through
Dual Enrollment?
● Basic skills courses (numbered 1-99), with the exception of co-requisite and support courses.
● Courses offered at Sheldon High School
● Courses requiring repetition due to unsatisfactory grades ('D' or 'F') received at the student's school.
● Courses where the student’s safety or the safety of others would be jeopardized.
● Courses that meet at the same time as Sheldon’s school hours
Things to Consider:
STUDENTS and PARENTS- Things to Consider:
● Do you understand that college courses will not be added to your high school transcript*?
○ Colleges would like to see any college courses taken while enrolled in high school on the college transcript only.
● Do you understand that the grades earned in college courses will be reflected on your permanent college transcript?
○ If you do poorly, you may be put on academic probation and it could affect your financial aid eligibility.
● Do you understand the college's academic calendar and how to drop classes without notation or with a "W" if you are not earning the grade you desire?
○ Poor grades in dual enrollment courses can hurt students’ chances of receiving financial aid as well as their eligibility to enroll in a four-year college or university.
● Do you have enough time to dedicate to college courses outside of your regular high school day?
○ A 3-unit course will require you to be in class for 3 hours each week and you will have between 6-9 hours of homework for that course each week. You can expect the same time commitment, if not more, for online courses.
When a high school student enrolls in a college course, privacy rights under FERPA (Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act) related to the class transfer from parent to the student.
