Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?

Students ages 13-18 can get started in college before they're even done with high school. Dual Enrollment (DE) students have the $46 per unit tuition fee waived. There may be other fees associated with the class, such as material fees, parking permits, books, or health fees. We partner with our local high school districts to bring college course opportunities to local high school students throughout Stanislaus County. Students can apply and enroll on their own for Dual Enrollment college courses offered online, at an MJC campus, and at various high school sites.
