High School Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment provides a fun opportunity for qualified high school students to earn college credit while working towards their high school diploma. Dual enrollment lets students receive educational advancement in areas where the student's interest is displayed (especially in courses and academic areas not available in the student's high school), and for those interested in earning college credit while still in high school.

Parents and students alike love the affordability of Dual Enrollment classes, due to the fact that many high school districts pay for a portion to all of the classes the student takes. Check with your high school's counselor for more information. As it is at the participating student's high school's discretion to grant high school credit for classes done at LCC, it is highly recommended to work with your school counselor when picking out your classes at LCC.

College courses earned at LCC are eligible to transfer to many other colleges and institutions. Though some colleges/universities may not accept college credit for college courses used to meet high school graduation requirements, the courses that a student takes at LCC will help them achieve their long term educational goals.

Your issuing institution may send your transcript electronically via Clearinghouse Electronic Exchange, Parchment, eSCRIP, or email registrar@lcc.edu.

As only the student can register themselves in a class by completing the dual enrollment form (the high school can't register a student and the college can only do it with the student submitting their dual enrollment form), LCC offers walk-throughs over the phone and assistance in person to help the student learn how to add and drop classes by completing their dual enrollment form. Students are also encouraged to work with their high school counselors when selecting courses to register for. As students are responsible for dropping unwanted classes and being aware of the refund dates, it is strongly recommended to speak with your high school counselor before dropping a course. NOTE: Students will fill out a dual enrollment approval form for both adding and dropping a course, as LCC will complete the student's registration upon the student's parent/guardian and high school counselor approving the registration activity.

Do not depend on being dropped for non-payment or non-attendance to avoid outstanding balances or failing grades.

Fill Out and Submit Your Dual Enrollment Approval Form

High school and home-schooled students are required to complete and submit the online High School Dual Enrollment Approval Form. A completed approval form must be submitted for each semester as the form is used to register the student for their desired course(s).

If a student's high school is paying for the classes, billing information and what classes the school is covering must be included on the form at the time of submission.

Students will submit the Dual Enrollment Form in order to drop or add a course. Please allow a minimum of 5 business days for processing. Students who do not meet the requirements for the course(s) being asked for will be denied.

Note: Students will need to have completed steps 1-3 in order to submit this form. Students who have not completed steps 1-3 will have their form denied.
