HS2CCC - High School Programs

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 $15 per credit hour (for the academic year 2019-2020) 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 $113 per credit hours. DE students taking one A&S 3 credit hour class will pay $45, a savings of $294; students taking one CTE course will save $339. 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 high school’s CCC Admission Advisor. For DE admission, the student must complete:
 

1. The CCC online application
2. Meet placement requirements (if applicable).  Placement can be met through multiple measures: GPA, SAT/ACT scores, Placement Testing, and prerequisites 
3. Complete the course registration form by the deadline
   1. Dual Enrollment Academic Calendar
4. Make tuition payment directly to the college (if applicable) by the payment deadline.
