| Before you commit to the
Dual Enrollment Program, please:
 Recognize
that the Dual Enrollment classes are college-level classes.
As such, both the material offered by the teacher and the
work required of the students is of a much more rigorous and
complex caliber than course work in high school.
Remember
that the grade you earn will appear on your permanent Santa
Monica College transcript. In order to drop a class, you must
inform your instructor in a timely manner.
Take
time to consult with your high school guidance counselor when
considering enrolling for Dual Enrollment classes. Specifically,
you will want to discuss with your counselor whether you are
“ready” to tackle college-level work, and if so,
which class will best serve your needs. You may also wish
to discuss whether or not to continue one of our classes if
you are having difficulty. Don’t wait until it’s
too late to let someone know you are having difficulty! Talk
to your class instructor or your high school counselor so
you can figure out your best course of action.
Understand
that some classes recommend a minimum of two study-hours per
week outside of the classroom for every hour per week that
the class meets.
Keep
in mind that the approximate cost for books and material is
from $40-$100.
