What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual enrollment is a unique program designed to help qualified high school students take college courses. Dual
enrollment students earn credit toward both high school and college credit. Upon successful completion, most
college-level courses taken at CCCC will transfer to a Massachusetts State college or university with you.
Additionally, courses may transfer to private colleges and universities. All colleges will review your CCCC
academic transcript for transferability of the credits completed at CCCC.

In order to be eligible to participate in the Dual Enrollment program, students must meet these requirements:
1. Massachusetts high school students, or homeschooled students, who are at least 16 years of age.
a. Students under the age of 16 need CCCC permission and must complete an Under-Age Student
Appeal for Enrollment form, which is available in the Admissions Office. *Please note that this
process takes additional time and should be started as early as possible to ensure admittance to
the Dual Enrollment program.
2. Students who have attained a minimum 2.5 grade point average or above at their high school.
a. Students with a GPA less than 2.5 but greater than 2.0 may be eligible for Dual Enrollment. A

Frequently Asked Questions
*Do I have to attend an Information Session?
Students who have never taken a Dual Enrollment course before must attend an Information Session. Returning
students (who have attended an Information Session previously) are not required to attend a second Information
Session.
*Do I need the placement test?
All new students are required to complete a computerized ACCUPLACER® skills assessment. You will not be able
to register for courses until you have completed the placement tests. If you were a Dual Enrolment student
before and took the placement tests within the last three years, your results are still valid.
In order to sign up for a placement test, you must attend an Information Session (see previous page) and your
Dual Enrollment application must be on file. Immediately following your placement test, you will meet with the
Dual Enrollment Counselor or an Admissions counselor to discuss your scores and register for classes.
