Apply for Dual Enrollment with CFCC

Dual Enrollment Qualifications:

Be a high school junior or senior when CFCC classes begin;
Have an unweighted high school GPA of 2.8 or higher
If under a 2.8 unweighted and want access to College Transfer Pathways, then you can demonstrate College Readiness in English, Reading, and Math on a college placement test (chart below). See your counselor to review the scores in your file.
Most courses within the CTE and EWD pathways do not require a 2.8 unweighted GPA; if these courses interest you, see Mrs. Pridgen in 704.

STEP 1: Choose a Pathway (the most important step!)

Click here for a tutorial

Pathways can be found at https://cfcc.edu/career-and-college-promise/ and you can open the CCP Pathway Options document
3 different pathway options - College Transfer or Career Technical Education (CTE) or Economic & Workforce Development (EWD).
You can select:
- One College Transfer Pathway (we highly recommend starting with Associates in Science or Associates in Arts)
- One College Transfer Pathway and one CTE or EWD Pathway
- Up to two CTE Pathways or two EWD Pathways
You can ONLY take classes within your chosen pathway(s). So, choose the pathway that gives you most of what you're looking to take. You can request to add or change a pathway through Mr. McNamara should your needs change.
Once you have chosen a pathway, WRITE IT DOWN. You will need to know it for Step 2.

We encourage you to talk with your counselor (College Transfer Pathways), Mrs. Pridgen (CTE/WCE Pathways) or Mr. Dave McNamara (CFCC Career Coach) about choosing a pathway before beginning your application.
