For Parents

Dual Enrollment is when high school students take college courses at their high school during the regularly scheduled school day. College courses are taught by a qualified high school teacher and students gain credit for both high school graduation and college.

Compared to similar peers, Dual Enrollees have:

• Higher rates of high school graduation (7% increase on average).
• Higher rates of college enrollment (15% increase on average).
• Higher rates of subsequently completing a college degree (25% increase on average).
• HUGE cost-savings due to enrollment fees being waived (up to $1000/year on average).

Dual Enrollment is when high school students take college courses at their high school by a qualified high school teacher. Students gain credit for both high school graduation and college (dual credit). Concurrent enrollment is when high school students take a course at Shasta College or online. The course is taught by Shasta College faculty and is done on the students’ own time outside of the high school day. 

Any dual enrollment course taken for a grade will appear on the students’ official Shasta College transcript. It is very important that your students are aware of drop deadlines for the college course. Students do not have to enroll for college credit and may take the course for high school credit only.
