Dual Enrollment for High School Students
Edwards, Linsey; Hughes, Katherine
Community College Research Center, Columbia University
Dual enrollment programs allow high school students to enroll in college courses and potentially earn college credit. The term concurrent enrollment is sometimes used interchangeably with dual enrollment, and sometimes to refer to a particular model of dual enrollment. In some programs, students earn high school and college credit simultaneously; this is known as dual credit. The purpose of this guide is to help career academy staff and teachers (and other educators) who want to offer their students dual enrollment opportunities. It will begin with a rationale for why dual enrollment is a promising student success strategy, outline the various steps and considerations for implementing dual enrollment, give guidance on how to measure whether the intervention is successful, and conclude with a list of resources to help along the way. Appended are: (1) Sample Memorandum of Understanding; (2) Sample High School Dual Enrollment Approval Form; and (3) Sample Dual Enrollment Application. (Contains 12 online resources.)
