Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment allows you to take classes at CSM for college credit while satisfying your high school graduation requirements.
Dual Enrollment students can earn college credit while they are still in high school. Students can attend courses at a CSM campus or at their local high school.

After completing high school, students can either use the credits earned through Dual Enrollment towards the completion of a program of study at CSM or submit their CSM transcript to other colleges and universities for evaluation and transfer. Helpful information about the transfer process can be found here.
Students who participate have full access to all college services including clubs, free tutoring, learning support workshops, library resources, and workout rooms.
