Introduction to Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment offers high school students the opportunity to enroll in college courses and
receive college credit, while pursuing their high school diploma. Courses are offered in a
variety of disciplines, including general education and career pathways that align with local
industry. Students can take these courses at the high school or college depending on the
agreement between districts.

 AB 288: College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP)
Assembly Bill 288 establishes the College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP)
partnerships, whereby governing boards of a community college district and high
school district enter into an agreement to expand the enrollment of special-admit
students for preparation to transfer or career technical education.

The purpose of CCAP is to extend higher learning opportunities to students that are
underrepresented in higher education or may not currently be college bound. Students
take college level courses in a familiar high school setting, during their regular school
day, completely FREE of cost, including textbooks.

The goal of CCAP is to develop seamless pathways from high school to community
college:
• To help high school students achieve college and career readiness
• To improve high school graduation rates
• Transfer preparation or Career Technical Education (CTE)

 Non-CCAP
Establishes the partnership between a community college district and a high school
district where students can attend college level courses at the community college or
designated off-site venue. These classes are additionally open to the public.

The purpose of these partnerships is to provide advanced scholastic and vocational
instruction to students who are determined to be ready to undertake the rigors of
college credit coursework.
