High School Dual Enrollment

What is traditional Dual Enrollment?

Dual Enrollment lets eligible high school students earn college credit while completing their high school diploma. It’s a great way to explore college-level courses, especially in subjects not offered at your high school. The classes are regular college courses with other LCC students.

Why choose traditional Dual Enrollment?

Save Money - Many school districts cover some or all of the tuition.
Get Ahead - Earn credits that count towards a degree and may transfer to other colleges.
Explore Interests -Take classes that match your career or academic goals.

How it works

Student completes the admissions steps below, including establishing placement levels.
To register or drop a course, students must submit the Dual Enrollment Approval form. The form will also need to be approved by their parent/ guardian and counselor. Once approved, LCC staff will attempt to register or drop you (processing time takes 3-5 business days).
Students are responsible for managing their schedules, including dropping classes on time and understanding refund deadlines. Don’t rely on being dropped for non-payment or non-attendance, as this can result in fees or failing grades.

Transcripts and Credit Transfer

LCC credits may transfer to many colleges. Some schools may not accept credits used for high school graduation, so check with the colleges you are considering.

Transcripts can be sent electronically via Clearinghouse, Parchment, eSCRIP or email: registrar@lcc.edu.
