Step 2: Parents will receive an email and/or text message to provide consent for their student to take Dual Enrollment and/or Concurrent Enrollment courses.
Step 3: The college will review each student account and send notifications to the student or their district if corrections are needed.
Step 4: The high school or district will review student accounts, provide documentation as needed, and approve the student for Dual Enrollment and/or Concurrent Enrollment.
Step 5: Students approved for Dual Enrollment courses will be registered and then notified. Students approved for Concurrent Enrollment courses will be cleared and then notified that they can register for courses.
All high school students requesting Concurrent Enrollment courses will not be able to register until Open Registration. All of the steps above must be completed before students will be able to register.
