Dual Enrollment EJ Anderson

What is Dual Enrollment 



Dual enrollment classes are taken at your local high school and taught by high school instructors.

Textbooks are provided by the school



Some Dual Enrollment classes require placement tests before enrolling.



Teachers are specially qualified to teach college curriculum

Benefits of Dual Enrollment 

Increases retention and completion of college



Helps prepare students for the academic rigor of college



76% of students are not prepared academically and 43% of 2-year community college students require remedial course work



Helps with job placement 38

Benefits of Dual Enrollment 

Increasing the number of underserved students who are ready for college.



Providing realistic information to high school students about the skills they need for college. (Most high school graduates have no idea they won’t be able to enroll in a college class but need remediation courses before they begin.)



Saving time and money by compressing the years of financial support needed to attend college.



Creating a smoother transition for students and feedback from K-12 to postsecondary systems. (Hoffman, Vargas & Santos, 2009).

Course Transferability 

Most credits will transfer to all of Arizona’s public colleges and universities



There is a high success rate in transferring courses to out-of-state colleges and universities due to Rio Salado’s accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission and the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partners



Confirm transferability with colleges and universities

Ready, Set, Graduate! 

College Completion rates are dismal Nationally less than 50% of students enrolled in college will earn an associate degree within three years or a bachelor’s degree within six years.



Drop-out rate alarming! 25% of full-time freshman at four-year institutions drop out and 39% of the freshmen at two-year institutions do not return the following fall. The rates are even worse for part-time students (Karp, 2012).

Momentum 

Students who earn 20 dual enrollment credits have a 28% higher chance of graduating from college.



11% more likely to persist on to second year



Dual enrollment fosters positive attitudes toward earning a post-secondary degree

Dual Enrollment students are 2.2 times more likely to enroll in a two or fouryear college.

Dual credit students are 2 times more likely to return the second year and 1.7 times more likely to complete a college degree

Students and parents can contact their High Schools Guidance Counselor for Dual Enrollment courses offered at their campus.
