Advanced Education: Dual Enrollment

Advanced Education: Dual Enrollment

High school students have the opportunity to take community college classes while still enrolled in high school courses through a process called dual enrollment. Folsom Lake College (Los Rios Community College District, LRCCD) has partned with EDUHSD to help students apply for dual enrollment and enroll in courses across all 4 of LRCCD's community colleges (Folsom Lake, American River, Sac City, and Cosumnes River).
 
  • FREE classes
  • Open to all 9th-12th grade students

Consider: Community college courses are higher education courses that require a student to be committed, well organized, and prepared for rigor beyond that of high school courses. Talk with your counselor and Ms. Coartney in the College & Career Center about your level of preparedness for community college courses. It is also important to note that even though you would be taking these courses while still in high school, they will go onto your official college transcripts and affect your college GPA. 
 
After high school: apply for and enroll in community college

Community colleges closest to us/most attended by UMHS grads include:
 
UMHS students who attend a Los Rios Community College are eligible for the Los Rios Promise Program, which pays for first time community college students' tuition and enrollment fees for two years (as long as program requirements are met). 
Community Colleges outside of LRCCD may also offer similar programs. Research opportunities or come see Ms. Coartney in the College & Career Center for questions!
