Dual enrollment is an opportunity for high school students to take college-level courses. Participation in dual enrollment allows students the opportunity to earn high school and college credit simultaneously; thus, decreasing students’ the time to complete a college degree and saving tuition costs.
Cuyamaca College offers high school students the chance to earn dual high school and college credit through its various early college credit program offerings.
Eligibility of Students
To be eligible for concurrent enrollment, students:
Prospective students who do not meet all these criteria will not be accepted for college admission. An appeal process is available through the Admissions and Records Office at Cuyamaca College
General Rules Regarding College Enrollment
High school students will be held to the same academic and conduct standards as any other college student enrolled in the class. Access to specific courses may be limited by space availability and/or course prerequisites. (See college catalog and class schedule for specific information.)
High school students will attend high school for at least the minimum high school day.
All classes taken at Cuyamaca College are for college credit and will establish a permanent college record. Courses taken for college credit may be used to meet high school graduation requirements; however, this determination is made solely by the high school district.
To meet with a counselor for course assistance in the concurrent/CCAP enrollment program please schedule an appointment online.
