The purpose of the Dual Enrollment Partnership between El Camino Community College and Centinela Valley Unified School District is to:

• Afford current high school students the opportunity to enroll in dual-credit courses,
• Expand student access to affordable higher education,
• Provide challenging academic and occupational experiences to qualified high school students during their freshman*, sophomore*, junior* and senior* years, and reduce the costs of a college education for students and their families.

 

*Some courses require students be enrolled in a "minimum" grade level and will not accept younger students without the college dean's prior approval.

 

Successful completion of transfer courses will enable students to simultaneously earn college credit transferable to two and four year colleges and universities and satisfy high school graduation requirements. Successful completion of occupational courses will allow students to earn college credits, to satisfy high school graduation requirements, and to assist in the transition to the community college or job opportunities or careers.
