Dual Enrollment:
 
The purpose of dual enrollment is to enhance a student''s high school education. A dual-enrollment student will not qualify under regular admissions because she/he is not yet a high school graduate. The dual-enrolled student earns college credit for curriculum courses taken. Each local school board determines if any credit will be granted at the high school.
     
 
     
 
High school students may concurrently enroll in regularly scheduled RCCC credit or Continuing Education courses under the following conditions:
  bullet
The student must be at least 16 years of age.
  bullet
The student must be recommended by the chief administrative officer of his or her school and approved by the Director of Admissions and President of the community college.
  bullet
The student must take courses at the college level (e.g., no courses may be taken that begin with a 0 such as Math 060). Registration is limited to two courses per semester.
  bullet
The school administrative officer must certify that the student is taking three (3) or more classes in high school (2 if under a block schedule) and is making satisfactory progress towards graduation. For a summer course, the student must have taken at least three (3) high school courses during the preceding semester and cannot be a high school graduate.
  bullet Enrollment of high school students cannot displace adult college students.
  bullet Students must meet the same prerequisite and course admission requirements as adult college students.
 

Prior to enrollment, the student must obtain, complete, and return a dual-enrollment form. The form will be signed by the appropriate school administrative officer and be returned to the Admissions office at RCCC for approval of the courses.

For curriculum courses, the student must complete the enrollment process at RCCC. Dual enrollment students must complete all placement testing, COMPASS and Computer Skills, prior to enrollment - even if the course in which the student wishes to enroll does not require a placement testing prerequisite. To take an Internet or Hybrid course, complete the (CSI) Computer Skills Inventory in addition to placement testing.

A new dual enrollment form is required prior to each semester for which the student wishes to enroll.

To register for classes, dual enrollment students will meet with a Student Services representative during the last hour of late registration at the North or South Campus. The Student Services representative will verify that the student is qualified for dual enrollment and that the RCCC enrollment process is complete.

After graduation from high school, please complete a new RCCC application indicating your major program of study as a college student.
