What is dual enrollment?
Dual enrollment is an opportunity for students to earn college credit while still in high school. Students may register for dual enrollment courses through a variety of colleges and universities, and may take classes based on their academic goals. Students who are dual enrolling must first exhaust high school courses and requirements related to the course they intend to take.
