Students in CIS navigate the full caseload of high school independently. Students in CIS meet once a week with a teacher to review their work completion and progress.
To participate in CIS, students must speak with their school counselor and complete the application for CIS.

Housed at Diablo Valley College, College Now students take a block of three high school courses taught by MDUSD teachers. College Now students will take the rest of their courses at DVC with other community college students and they will earn both high school and college credit for those DVC classes.

Students choose their DVC classes with the help of a MDUSD high school counselor and a DVC college counselor.
College Now is an exciting opportunity for MDUSD students. Any interested and eligible MDUSD student is welcomed and encouraged to apply. The next application process will take place in the Spring for classes beginning in August.
