Start College Now!

Earn High School and College Credit at the Same Time!

Jump-starting college can save you time and money, help you become familiar with college-level work, and give you a chance to explore career interests. CCC offers three options for high school students to earn college credit: Concurrent Enrollment, Dual Enrollment or CAVIAT programs. 

Concurrent Enrollment allows a high school student to take classes on campus at CCC. The student is responsible for tuition and all related costs. If you are interested in Concurrent Enrollment, contact our Academic Advisors to start the process.

Dual Enrollment allows students to earn college credit for high school classes taken at their high school. CCC hires the teachers and teaches the same course outcomes as classes on campus. The tuition cost for Arts and Science courses is $10 per credit hour, and for Career and Technical Education there is a complete tuition waiver (no cost for the student). Dual Enrollment courses are offered at 12 high schools in northern Arizona.

CAVIAT programs are paid for and coordinated by CAVIAT and are offered to students at no cost. To become a CAVIAT student, you must apply through CAVIAT. More information is available on the  CAVIAT website.

The Dual Enrollment and CAVIAT Programs are a great way for high school students to get a head start on college and earn college credit at a significantly reduced cost or no cost at all!

Coconino Community College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The HLC accredits and grants membership to post-secondary institutions in the North Central region through an official review board after the school has met specific requirements. Our accreditation means that we meet quality standards and can guarantee the transferability of our credits, giving us eligibility for Title IV funds.

• Dual Enrollment

  Coconino Community College (CCC), serving Coconino County in Northern Arizona, offers high school students an opportunity to earn early college credit through CCC’s High School to CCC (HS2CCC) program.  Dual Enrollment (DE) is a state-approved a program that allows high school students to earn college credit, giving students a seamless transition to college and preventing the duplication of coursework.  Students can save money on tuition, complete a CCC degree or certificate at an accelerated pace and most credits are transferable to Arizona universities.

  CCC’s DE program offers an alternative, less expensive way to earn college credit while still in high school. DE follows  Arizona Revised State Statute 15-1821.01. The program is designed to provide high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to earn college credit for $10 per credit hour (for the academic year 2018-2019) for Art and Science (A&S) courses and a tuition waiver for Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses while attending their high school. CCC tuition on campus is $105 per credit hours. DE students taking one A&S 3 credit hour class will pay $30, a savings of $285; students taking one CTE course will save $315. CCC offers a variety of courses most of our DE courses are transferable to other colleges and universities.

  DE courses allow students to earn both high school and college credits for courses they take at the high school with their high school teachers. DE teachers must meet the same credentialing requirements as CCC instructors teaching the same course on campus. They teach in the same college curriculum and courses are designed to equal the college learning experience the student would receive sitting in a CCC classroom. Teachers use the same college textbook or one approved by the Dean that contains equivalent higher level information. Students enrolled in DE courses will earn CCC credit and an official CCC transcript upon completion of their class.

  To enroll for DE credit, students need to go through the DE enrollment process which must be completed through their high school and the HS2CCC Program Manager. The Registration and Enrollment Services office at CCC cannot accept DE applications directly. For DE credit, students need to complete and submit:

  1. CCC Special Admission Application form
  2. A valid AZ ID or a Birth certificate or a Certificate of Indian Blood.
  3. Meet Placement test(s) and/or prerequisites
  4. Class registration form by the deadline
  5. Payment (if applicable) of tuition by the deadline

   

  For more information on the DE student experience please refer to  Dual Enrollment Handbook

  For more information on courses available through DE please refer to our  Dual Enrollment Course Catalog.

  Instructor Qualifications for Dual Enrollment Courses 

  Dual Enrollment instructors must meet the same qualifications as any faculty member working on campus at CCC. As an accredited institution, CCC must meet the hiring qualifications outlined by our accrediting agency, the Higher Learning Commission. Without accreditation, credits earned through DE would not be transferable to other schools. Please see Appendix C for the Faculty Credentialing Procedure 310-10 which describes CCC’s hiring standards for faculty positions. Instructors who are interested in offering a DE course should review this table to determine if they meet the college hiring requirements.   

  1. Faculty coursework credits and degrees shall be earned from a regionally accredited institution.
  2. New faculty must have the following documents on file prior to being approved to teach a DE course
     1. Official transcripts for degrees and certificates earned, and/or copies of appropriate industry standard certification(s)
     2. Curriculum Vita or resume. 
  3. The Academic Operations Coordinators in collaboration with CCC Deans make the determination if a high school teacher meets the HLC credentialing requirements to be a DE instructor.

  “During my high school career I have taken full advantage of the Dual Enrollment and CAVIAT programs, and I love them. Dual Enrollment is great because it allowed me to take regular classes at high school while also receiving college credit, and I only had to pay a fraction of the cost. CAVIAT was also a great experience, allowing me to earn a Pre-Health Certificate, which I will have received before attending NAU next year and this program allowed me to take courses with other college students and helped me confirm that I want to study nursing with an emphasis on neonatal care. I enjoyed my experiences with both the Dual Enrollment and the CAVIAT programs, and I would highly recommend them to any high school students looking to get a jump-start in their higher education.” - Abigail Garland
