• Step 4: Dual Enrollment Special Admission Form

  Before proceeding with this step, make sure to complete Steps 1 – Step 3 of the admission process.

  Start by completing the Dual Enrollment Student Contact Questionnaire using the below link. 

  This form will confirm you have completed the above admission steps and gather contact information for you and a parent/guardian needed to launch the electronic Dual Enrollment Special Admission Form. 

  Dual Enrollment Student Contact Questionnaire – opens Monday, October 26

  Then, complete and sign the Dual Enrollment Special Admission Form via email.

  You will receive a separate email from Enrollment Services <echosign@echosign.com> to the email address you provided on the Student Contact Questionnaire. The email will have a subject line of “Signature requested on DE – High School Name – Course Name”. Please complete the required fields and digitally sign the form.

  The form will automatically forward to your parent/guardian’s email address you provided on the Student Contact Questionnaire to obtain their signature. The form will be forwarded to your high school for signatures from a counselor and principal (or designee).

  All signers will receive a completed copy of the Dual Enrollment Special Admission Form after ALL signatures have been obtained.

  The College will then proceed with processing your form.  

• Step 5: Registration & Textbooks

  The Early College Program will register you into the dual enrollment course upon completion of the admission process and confirmation by your high school.

  We expect to complete all dual enrollment registration the week of December 11.

  During the week of December 14, you will receive an enrollment confirmation email from earlycollege@canyons.edu. This email will contain your course meeting information, instructor contact information and link to their orientation letter, information about the textbook (if required), and available student support services and resources designed to help you succeed.

  If your dual enrollment course requires a textbook and/or materials provided by the college, we will provide instructions in the enrollment confirmation email on how to check out your textbook/material from your high school library during the week of January 11.

• Step 6: Attend Class – Spring semester begins January 19

   

  For all SPRING 2021 courses, it is very important that you read the instructor’s ORIENTATION LETTER for each class you register for, in order to be aware of the type of class you're in. Read your Instructor's orientation letter for information about their class, such as their required textbooks(s), instructional materials, important dates, proctored exams, or other course requirements.

  You may find yourself using Canvas for the first time.  Explore our Canvas Guides to learn how to navigate and be successful in your online classroom.

  Visit the Online Student Support page to find a list of available student resources and software to help with the transition to online learning.

• Student Support - Disabled Students Program & Services
