Dual, or Concurrent, Enrollment is when a high school student enrolls at a California Community College at the same time in order to receive college credit and advance their higher education during high school.
One semester a college = one year at a high school
Eligibility:
- Must be at least a Sophomore
- 10th Grade: Unweighted GPA of 3.25 or above
- 11th & 12th Grade: Unweighted GPA of 3.0 or above
- May enroll up to 7 units per semester and will still be enrolled in 7 Aquinas classes
- In order to receive high school credit, the college course selected must not be offered at Aquinas*
*Examples:
- English Composition at a community college is AP English at Aquinas, so high school credit cannot be given at this time.
- American Sign Language is not offered at Aquinas, therefore a student can receive both college and high school credit.
Pease visit the community college's dual enrollment website and speak with your high school counselor for more information.
