Dual Enrollment Students

Dual enrollment is for K-12 students who wish to take college classes in addition to their K-12 courses.

The goal is to provide students who can benefit from advanced scholastic and vocational education the opportunity to take college-level courses that are not available through their primary school or other alternatives.
