Dual Enrollment Options

Transcripts & Credits 

• All CCAPP courses are recorded on the NP3 High School transcript.

• Grades earned also become part of the student’s official Los Rios College transcript and permanent college record.

• Because these grades live on both transcripts, maintaining strong academic performance is essential.

Course Load Student Responsibility 

• College courses move quickly and require mature time management.

  • Maintain a balanced schedule,

  • avoid over-committing to too many advanced courses,

  • Students and families are responsible for staying up to date with college expectations and deadlines.

Recommended Course Types 

• Select from NP3’s approved CCAPP course list.
  NP3 offers a limited number of pre-selected college courses each term to ensure alignment with graduation requirements and college-transfer standards.

• Prioritize courses that meet A–G requirements for UC/CSU admissions, especially when these appear on NP3’s approved list.

• Select classes that support the student’s graduation plan and educational goals, with guidance from NP3 counselors.

Role of School & Family 

• The school offers guidance on course selection, but

• The student and family are ultimately responsible for managing deadlines, completing coursework, and navigating the expectations of college-level classes. 

Transcripts & Credits

• Dual enrollment courses taken independently will NOT be added to the high school transcript, unless the course is being used to meet the high school World Language graduation requirement.

• All grades earned through Los Rios will appear on an official college transcript and become part of the student’s permanent college record.

• College grades may impact future financial aid eligibility and college admissions, so strong performance is essential. 

Course Load  Student Responsibility 

• Students must maintain a balanced schedule. College classes are fast-paced and require strong time-management skills.

• Students and families are responsible for ensuring the student can manage both high school and college coursework without becoming overwhelmed.

Recommended Course Types 

• Enroll in Cal-GETC courses whenever possible, as they satisfy the university's general education requirements.

• Save major-specific courses for university enrollment to avoid transfer issues or out-of-sequence course-taking.

• Choose classes that meet A–G requirements, which can be reported on college applications.

Role of the School & Family 

• The school offers guidance on course selection, but
