The programs covered under this agreement are dual enrollment and early admission.  Dual enrollment course offerings allow qualifying students in grades 9-12 to enroll in both high school and college and provides students the opportunity to enhance their learning in courses that meet educational, career, and personal needs while enrolled in high school.  The dual enrollment program shortens the time necessary for students to complete degree requirements, expands the scope of curricular options, and increases the depth of study available for a particular subject by offering college credit courses.  Dual enrollment course offerings, both on and off the high school campus, provide students greater academic options and considerable financial savings.

Early admission is a form of dual enrollment that permits eligible students to enroll in HCC on a full-time basis in courses that are creditable toward a high school diploma and college credit. 

This agreement is completed and submitted annually by HCC to the State Board of Education.
