school students interested in attending classes at CSM during
their regular school hours are considered Dual or Concurrent
students. As an Dual/Concurrent student, you can choose
part-time (less than 12 credits) or full time option (12 credits

high schools. Confirm with your high school counselor the
transferability of CSM courses to meet high school graduation
requirements.
