Benefits of Dual Enrollment
Save on College Costs
Students can save on college costs by earning dual enrollment credits in high school. High school students who complete dual enrollment classes generally need to take fewer classes in college. Dual enrollment students are also more likely to attend and graduate college.1
Experience College-Level Classes
Dual enrollment courses are different in that they are taught with the rigor of a college course. Students use college-level textbooks and follow college syllabi, just as they would if they took a class at Cosumnes River College. Assignments are graded using college rubrics and standards. The student's final grade in their dual enrollment class is recorded on their official Cosumnes River College transcript.
Eligibility Requirements
By signing the Dual Enrollment CCAP permission form, students agree to be treated as college students. Students must:
- Must maintain at least a 2.0 college GPA. Learn more about grading policies and academic regulations.
- Access Canvas by the first day of the semester to avoid being dropped from the course. Learn about Canvas, our online learning system.
- Communicate often with their CRC instructor and high school counselor.
