Interested in Taking Community College Classes?
If you’d like to take community college courses while in high school, you must schedule an appointment with your PSC to discuss your academic goals. Please note that dual enrollment approval is at the discretion of your counselor.

What is Dual/Concurrent Enrollment?

Dual/Concurrent Enrollment is when an OP student is approved to take classes at a community college or Pathways College

• If the student completes the class, it will count as elective credit toward high school graduation and as college credit.

• Dual Enrollment tuition is waived for eligible students.
