Dual Enrollment and Concurrent Enrollment

Dual Enrollment Opportunties
 
 
 
Summer and Fall 2024 Courses

The courses West Valley College is offering through this Dual Enrollment Program are taught only to students in the Campbell Union High School District. Some courses for Fall 2024 will be
offered in-person at the high school campus indicated in the table below, some courses are offered
synchronously online (i.e., with scheduled days and times), and some are offered asynchronously online
(no scheduled meetings). Students can enroll in classes not offered at their home campus but need to ensure they can arrange travel to that campus and arrive on time. Even if you do not intend to enroll at WVC after graduation, the course(s) and units completed transfer to other colleges and universities.  In addition, for every three college units a student enrolls, that student earns ten units on their high school transcript.  The program provides students an opportunity to make up credits needed for high school graduation, explore college courses, and obtain a head start on college. This program is open to students that are sophomores, juniors, and seniors (grades 10, 11, and 12).

 
Essential Information
  • Students are on the WVC calendar.
    • Summer classes run in June and July. Please see the table below.
    • For this upcoming fall semester, the courses start on September 3 and end on December 11.
      Some holidays may differ between WVC and CUHSD. Students are expected to attend class in
      accordance with the WVC calendar.
  • Courses students complete, and grades earned, remain on the student’s permanent college
    transcript. Students can use these units towards high school graduation, towards a WVC degree or
    certificate, and towards a degree at another college or university attended in the future.
  • Students who participate in this program become WVC students for that term. This means that
    students have privacy rights, are permitted to use WVC facilities, and are subject to the WVC
    student code of conduct.
  • Course textbooks will be provided during the first week of class at no cost to the student. Students
    are required to return those textbooks at the end of the term.
  • Students are permitted to enroll in any class.
  • Completed applications for the Summer and Fall 2024 terms must be submitted by Monday, August
    19.

Concurrent Enrollment
 
 

Planning To Take An Enrichment or Community College Course?

Go to the website of the community college where you would like to take this class. Check the Schedule of Classes. Find the class that you identified on ASSIST.org (to ensure this class will transfer to the university you plan to attend). Look for days and times that would work with your schedule.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning to take a community college course during the school year (concurrent enrollment), it must be AFTER all of your classes at Prospect. Classes at the community college can NOT be used to substitute a class that is required for high school graduation, and any outside courses will not go on your high school transcript.

 

IMPORTANT: Community colleges require anyone under 18 years of age to get a concurrent enrollment form signed in order to take a college course. The form is obtained directly from the community college and MUST be signed by your guidance counselor.

For any courses that you plan to take outside of Prospect, be sure to submit the CUHSD Concurrent Enrollment Acknowledgement Form. (attached to this message)
