What is Dual Enrollment?

• Students are enrolled as both a high school student and college student at the same time.

• Students can earn high school and college credit at the same time:

  • • • 3 unit college courses and higher earn 10 high school credits. 

      • Less than 3 college units earns 5 high school credits.

• Honors bump is given to dual enrollment courses:

  • • • Same weight as Honors/AP in CVUSD and for UC/CSU college admissions.

      • One college class = one grade = one extra point/bump

• College units may transfer to a four year college (much like passing an AP exam), allowing students to potentially graduate from college earlier, but can vary by college/campus.

• Students can explore coursework that may not be available on their high school campus.

• Research shows that dual enrollment students are more likely to graduate from high school and go on to earn a college degree.

• Grades become a permanent part of a student's college transcript.

• Credit earned through coursework taken through Moorpark, Oxnard, and Ventura Colleges do not count towards the 40 credit limit placed on external, transferable credits in CVUSD.
