Dual enrollment is coursework acceleration program that allows qualified secondary students to begin post-secondary coursework while earning credits toward a high school diploma. Dual enrollment students enroll on a part-time basis (maximum six credit hours) as non-degree seeking students, free of tuition. The University of Central ÐÔÊӽ紫ý operates its program in accordance with local articulation agreements. Dual enrollment is available to local school district, private school, and home education secondary students.

Students taking dual enrollment courses must recognize that dual enrollment course grades will become a permanent part of a college transcript and will be factored into future applications to other colleges and universities.
