3. What is dual enrollment?
A program that provides funding for students at eligible high schools to take approved college-level coursework for credit towards both high school and college graduation requirements.

4. Benefits of dual enrollment
• Introduces students to college-level coursework.
• Earning college credits while still in high school may enable students to graduate early and/or possibly even earn an associate degree, diploma or certificate.
• Helps students adjust to certain aspects of the college experience (e.g., classes, coursework, and instruction, being on a college campus) so the transition from high school to college may be easier.
• Students who participate in a dual enrollment program are more likely to go to college and get a college degree.
• Students may be able to take classes that are not offered at their high school, especially in subject areas they are interested in for a potential career.
• Participating in a dual enrollment program demonstrates a student’s ability to handle more difficult coursework which is something college admissions officers may look upon favorably during admissions and recruiting.
• Taking college-level classes while still in high school may build confidence and encourage those students who may not be thinking about college to reconsider.
