DUAL ENROLLMENT

OVERVIEW

Dual Enrollment, also called Concurrent Enrollment, allows high school students to be enrolled in two separate, academically related institutions. Dual enrollment allows a high school student to take college-level courses thus earning college credits and their high school diploma. Students may apply undergraduate courses towards a Calvary Chapel University degree program upon high school graduation.

HIGH SCHOOL PARENT GUIDANCE

Dual enrollment is a significant step for high school students, and parents/guardians provide essential encouragement along the way. Families are welcome to help students navigate the application process, review module start dates, and offer support as students manage their 8‑week courses.

TUITION

Dual enrollment courses are $300 per course, not including additional fees or textbooks.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The dual enrollment program offers undergraduate courses to students seeking to supplement their high school experience. Students may enroll in any course listed in the Catalog under Course Descriptions numbered 0-499, except for practicum courses PRA288, PRA388, and PRA488A/B. The method of instruction is 100% online, asynchronous format, with video conferencing.

Note: The institution does not offer any programs that lead to professional licensure. A graduate of programs offered at Calvary Chapel University is not eligible to sit for licensure exams within the United States.
