Dual Enrollment

 

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: 

  1. Must be enrolled in ninth grade.
  2. Must be currently enrolled in high school.
  3. Must obtain high school approval
  4. Have written parental approval prior to filing a college application for admission.

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. 

 

There are multiple ways in which a high school student can be enrolled in college classes. 

  1. Concurrent Enrollment 
  2. CCAP Enrollment
