Maricopa Community Colleges and Gilbert Public Schools have designed a cooperative program that allows students to earn both high school and college credits.
About Dual Enrollment
These classes are held on the high school campus as part of the regular school day. Dual credit classes will only be offered if a qualified teacher is available. If students are to receive community college credit, they must pay community college tuition. They may also need to pass the EdReady test.
Parents/students will self-register for courses and pay using the Student Information Center at the time of registration. Upon successful completion of these courses, students may transfer credits to other colleges or universities. It is the students' responsibility to find out if in-state universities accept credits. Students should check the transferability of their courses to in-state universities. Acceptance and applicability of transfer credits by out-of-state universities vary by institution.
