Dual Enrollment

OUSD students are encouraged to take the most rigorous and accelerated program in which they can be successful. Dual enrollment allows students to take college classes while still in high school. Classes are taught by college faculty, either at the college, high school, or through distance education. Dual enrollment is advantageous to students because it is a cost efficient way to accumulate credits and allows them to get a head start on their college careers. In some cases, the student may even be able to attain an Associate’s degree shortly before or after their high school graduation. Participation in dual enrollment may ease the transition from high school to college by giving students a sense of what college courses are like.

Policy and practices: All students interested in Dual Enrollment must meet with their high school counselor for advisement regarding the most appropriate plan of study for their goals as well as to receive instruction regarding forms and process prior to enrolling. Tuition is free to high school students; however, students are required to pay for their textbooks as well as a small health fee.
