Dual Enrollment

Would you like to get college credit for your required high school courses? You can through CBU’s Dual Enrollment program — and at a discounted rate!

How it works:

• You will be enrolled at both CBU and your high school.
• Courses that you complete count as both college and high school credit.
• Enroll during the summer after your sophomore year (grade 10) or at any time during your junior or senior years (grades 11 and 12).
• Take classes at your high school or on the CBU campus.
• When coursework is completed, you may request an official college transcript.

You must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 in all dual enrollment coursework and have no outstanding debts to the University.
