HACC Dual Enrollment

HACC's Dual Enrollment program gives qualified high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to receive high school and college credit simultaneously.

Dual enrollment students can take college credit courses at any HACC campus, at an off-site location or online. The credits you earn may satisfy high school graduation requirements. These course credits also become part of your permanent HACC record. You can apply them to a HACC degree program or transfer them to another college.

Why should I participate in the dual enrollment program?

  • Courses provide HACC college credits. Credits can typically transfer to their colleges and universities.
  • You will experience the college setting and ease your transition from high school to college.
  • Youwillbecomefamiliarwiththecollegeclassformatandlearnhowtobettermanage your time.
  • College-level course work and student services can help you decide what you want to do in the future.
  • Courses are offered at a significantly reduced rate of $100 per credit

Can I participate in the Honors Program?

  • Yes. Dual enrollment students have the opportunity to take Honors-level courses for which they are eligible. Highly motivated students can take honors-level courses that offer a reduced class size and a dynamic learning environment. Available courses are listed on each semester's class schedule with an"H" indicator after the course number.

How does the dual enrollment program work?

  • HACC's College Pathways Coordinators work with you and your high school to suggest courses.
  • Classes consist of dual enrollment students and traditional HACC college students.
  • You will need to apply for the dual enrollment program and pay their required tuition and fees.

Am I eligible for dual enrollment?

Your high school must recommend you for the program. You must also meet course prerequisites through HACC's placement testing program.
