AGENDA ITEM 5.6
Overall Dual and Concurrent Enrollment Program
Scope
The dual and concurrent enrollment program will allow eligible high school students currently
attending Redwoods Community College District service area public or private high schools or
home school to simultaneously enroll in a college class. The credits that students earn can be
used for both a college degree or certificate and high school graduation requirements.
Enrollment in dual and concurrent enrollment classes can potentially ease the
transition from high school to college, and encourage local students to pursue a
college, especially those students who might not otherwise do so.
Potential Student Outcomes:
• Explore career and guaranteed degree pathways prior to high school
graduation
• Get a head start on earning college credit
• Save money on tuition and fees
• Build self-confidence in college level rigor and ease the transition to
college
• Eliminate the duplication of coursework between high school and college
Program Outcomes:
• Increase communication between highs school and college instructors and
counselors
• Reduce remediation rates
• Increased transfer rate
• Increase high school graduation rates
• Increase in students attending College of the Redwoods (CR) after high
School graduation
Dual Enrollment Program Goals for Eureka City Schools (ECS)
Provide CR courses on the high school campus during the school day. Students participating in
the program have their first year requirements (30 or more college units) complete toward a CTE
certificate completion or guaranteed transfer degree (ADT). The remaining units will be
completed the first year at CR.

transcript will show the CR course equivalent.

after the school days ends.
