Dual Enrollment/Accelerated Students

Programs for Area High School Students

Calhoun Community College, in collaboration with area high schools, offers students the opportunity to enroll in college coursework while still in high school. Two programs have been approved by the Alabama State Board of Education: The Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit for High School Student Program and the Accelerated High School Student Program. Although the basic criteria for enrollment are similar, each program has unique features. Review the information for each and discuss your eligibility with your counselor to determine which program best meets your needs.
