Skyline College's Dual Enrollment Program is dedicated to offering high school students, particularly those traditionally underrepresented in higher education, the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit concurrently, with no financial burden.

Through close collaboration with high schools, the Strategic Partnerships and Workforce Development (SPWD) Division strives to establish strong partnerships that enhance college accessibility for students.

Why Choose Dual Enrollment?

Engaging in Dual Enrollment provides numerous advantages, including early exposure to college, proficiency in college-level coursework, and transferrable college credit. Nevertheless, students and parents should be aware of the following considerations:

  • Students must earn a C or better grade to earn the college credit for Dual Enrollment courses.
  • Grades received in Dual Enrollment courses become permanent fixtures in the student record and college transcript. Poor performance in these courses may adversely affect students' prospects for securing financial aid and their eligibility for admission to four-year colleges or universities.
  • Dual Enrollment courses might contribute to the overall unit cap for financial aid or impose limits on course enrollment.
  • Before a student can be officially enrolled in the college course, they need to complete all necessary steps, including the college application, college connection form, and course registration.
  • Parent/Guardians will receive an email link where they can verify their consent for their student to participate in Dual Enrollment. Without this consent, students cannot participate
  • Students interested in Dual Enrollment are encouraged to consult with a counselor at their current high school before enrolling, ensuring that the program aligns with their educational goals and aspirations.

3 Steps to Dual Enrollment

    1. Sign up for a Dual Enrollment class at your high school

Speak with your high school counselor to discuss if Dual Enrollment is right for you. If so, identify the courses you would like to take and sign up using the regular registration process at your school.

    1. Attend an Application Workshop

The Dual Enrollment Team will visit the student’s class and walk through applying to Skyline College using a California Community Colleges OpenCCC account. OpenCCC is a service of the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. The information in your account is kept private and secure.

    1. Attend an Enrollment Workshop

Students will register for their Dual Enrollment class by visiting their student portal where they can access the Student Success Link (SSL). Inside the SSL, students will select “College Connection Form.” Following the steps in the form, students will register for their desired courses and obtain parent consent.
