Dual Enrolment
Find out more about Dual Enrolment
Dual enrolment can be a useful option for some students, but families should understand how credit transfer, university recognition and course fit may vary from one institution to another.
Understanding Dual Enrolment
How does Dual Enrolment work?
Dual enrolment allows high school students to take courses through a local college while still in high school. These classes may count for both high school and college credit, depending on the institution.
The courses are typically taught through community colleges or nearby universities and often follow the college’s schedule, grading policies and curriculum.
Credit transfer can vary between universities, so families usually need to check whether the courses will be recognised by the colleges their student may later apply to.

“The consistency of dual enrollment colleges and courses varies greatly, so make sure you choose locations and courses that will prepare you for upper-level major courses at your potential future colleges. A number of very competitive colleges might not accept dual enrollment coursework, and it varies depending on whether the DE course is taught on the college campus or in the high school.”

“Dual-enrollment programs can be a great way to earn college credit and get a head start on higher education, but not all colleges accept these credits, so students should check transfer policies before enrolling.”

“Dual enrollment allows high school students to take college-level courses, but some colleges may not accept those credits, so it’s important to research credit transfer requirements ahead of time.”
— CollegeAdvisor.com, c. 2024
“Dual enrollment programs may not be the best fit for every student — you need to balance the course load, align course choices with long-term goals and research transfer policies before enrolling.”
— Collegewise Staff, Aug 28, 2025
“Dual enrollment gives students a preview of college-level coursework and can save time and money, but success depends on the strength of the partnership between the high school and postsecondary institution.”
