What is dual enrollment? • Dual Enrollment is an opportunity for high school students to: – Get a head start on college – Explore an interest – Fulfill a high school requirement and earn college credit simultaneously • Classes taught by SCC instructors • Eligibility: students from 9th to 12th grade - no residency requirement
Where are the classes offered? • Students may take classes at the high school after the school day (if offered) • Students may also take classes at the Santiago Canyon College (SCC) campus or via Distance Learning (online)
Why should I take dual enrollment classes? Dual Enrollment is associated with: • Higher rates of high school completion • Direct enrollment in college after high school • Improving the likelihood of completing a college degree or certificate
Other benefits of dual enrollment? • SAVE $$$ (potentially 1+ year of college tuition!) • Save time – earn both high school and college credits at the same time – most credits transfer to UC/CSU • Learn how to be college students • Earn certificates qualifying you for high-paying jobs that may lead you to a career • Access to SCC student support services such as the tutoring, math & writing labs, library, counseling
What classes should I take? • Any course for which you meet the prerequisites AND have received permission from your high school • Take courses in any term: Fall, Intersession, Spring, Summer • Take courses taught at the HS, on SCC campus, or online
What are the right courses for me? • Talk with your high school counselor to determine which courses will meet your high school requirements • An SCC counselor will help you start an educational plan outlining courses you will need for your college degree and certificate requirements
How much studying time should I plan for? • Plan time for attending classes, reading, studying, completing homework, extra curricular activities, and working • For every hour of classroom time, allow two hours of outside homework time: 3-unit class = 3 hours classroom time + 6 hours homework/outside study/assignments (2 hours of every hour in class) 9 hours total time for a 3-unit class
