Community College
(Concurrent Enrollment)
(Concurrent Enrollment)
If so, our local community colleges have created an opportunity for our students to participate in what is known as Concurrent Enrollment. This provides students with the option to take college courses throughout different semesters/quarters at the community college with your high school counselor approval.
This program allows high school students to be enrolled in two schools simultaneously. Generally, it refers to high school students taking a community college class. While most students access this during the summer, some students may choose to also take a class during the fall or spring semester.
Yes. All 3 unit classes equal to 5 high school elective credits. All 4-5 unit classes equal 10 high school elective credits. Students will also receive college credit.
Tuition is covered but all other expenses such as class materials, books, and transportation are not included.
The type of class setting is set by the college. Make sure to review how the class will be taught in the Class Schedule before registering.
The grade level requirement for Concurrent Enrollment is site specific depending on the college.
Concurrent Enrollment:
Classes can be taken throughout the year at various community colleges.
Students earn high school credit: each 3-unit (or 4/5 unit) community college course gives 5 (or 10) high school elective credits.
Students are part of the general community college population, ie. classes are not just for MHHS students.
Tuition is free, however, students are responsible for all costs associated with books and materials.
Dual Enrollment:
MHHS has partnered with Palomar College to offer several classes during the fall and spring semesters to MHHS students only.
Students earn both high school and college credit: each 3-unit Palomar College course gives 5 high school credits.
Classes are held after school and can be in person at a specific school or meet online. Generally, if a class is held in person at a specific school, mainly students from that school will be the only ones to access this class due to time constraints. If a class is offered online, it is open to all students in the district.
There are no tuition costs associated with Dual Enrollment classes. All books and materials are issued free of charge to students.
