What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual or Concurrent Enrollment is an exciting opportunity for high school students to earn FREE transferable college credit through Santa Ana College (SAC).
Students may individually enroll in up to 11.5 units every fall and spring semester, as long as they meet course prerequisites.
These college credits count toward both:
- High school diploma requirements
- College degree or certificate requirements
Dual Enrollment is open to all students who want to get ahead on their college education.
