What is Dual Enrollment?

Dual Enrollment provides students the opportunity to take community college classes while in high school. Dual Enrollment courses are taught by a qualified high school teacher or Shasta College Faculty member during the regular high school day. This means you can get BOTH college and high school credit without having to leave your high school campus!
