The Early College Dual Credit Program allows high school students to enroll in select college courses and take them at their high school as part of their regularly scheduled day. This unique partnership between Moraine Valley Community College and Reavis High School allows students to simultaneously earn college credit and high school credit. This allows students the opportunity to save time and money when you pursue a college degree or certificate. Dual credit classes are actual college-level courses and are taught by teachers at your high school who have met specific requirements that qualify them to teach at the collegiate level.
In partnership with Moraine Valley Community College, Reavis High School offers a variety of dual enrollment programs that students can participate in during their senior year. Current juniors interested in one of these programs should discuss their with their counselor during their registration appointment in January. Students must be on track to graduate with 22 high school credits and be able to provide their own transportation to Moraine Valley (class days/times may vary).
Current high school students are not eligible for financial aid; therefore, Moraine Valley tuition is applied and paid directly to the college per credit hour. Spots are limited.
