Dual Enrollment Program

The Dual Enrollment Program at College of the Canyons helps high school students to get a jump start on college by earning college and high school credit at no cost. In addition to saving time and money, dual enrollment courses help prepare students for the rigors of college level studies.

What is Dual Enrollment?

Through our partnership with the William S. Hart Union High School District, College of the Canyons offers college courses at participating high schools that allow eligible students to earn college and high school credit while meeting high school graduation requirements.

Dual enrollment courses take place on the students’ high school campus during their school day either as a period 1 or as period 7 class. Students must be a junior or senior to participate in the dual enrollment program, with the exception of Castaic High School's iCAN Academy that allows for freshman through seniors to participate in the program (Board Policy 5010).
