Dual-Enrollment
Dual Enrollment with American River College
What is Dual enrollment (DE)?
Through our Dual Enrollment Program, students have the unique opportunity to take a college course at his or her high school and receive college units while also fulfilling high school credits. Dual enrollment courses are offered at no cost to students.
Vision:
ARC’s Dual Enrollment programming seeks to equitize students’ access to, and success in, higher education, especially those from historically underserved populations in the greater Sacramento region by providing clear and attainable pathways into Los Rios and beyond.
Mission:
“ARC Dual Enrollment: Paving the Way from High School to Higher Ed”
If you are interested in enrolling in a Dual Enrollment course, contact your School Counselor. Students who ultimately choose to enroll in a dual-enrollment course will need to:
1. Enroll as an American River College student to attain a valid ARC student ID number
2. Submit a signed parent permission form or Special Admit Form (found here ) to your counselor.
3. Have their School Counselor submit the student's name on the SJUSD interest form.
