Dual Enrollment Spring Information Session led by El Camino College tomorrow!

This 1-hour workshop is for prospective high school students, already registered high school students, and parents to receive an overview of Dual Enrollment in El Camino College Classes for the Spring 2023 Semester. The entire process (from applying for admission to the last day of class) will be covered.

This is a great opportunity for prospective students, already registered high school students, and parents to learn more about Dual Enrollment for the Spring 2023 Semester and ask any questions they may have.

This is largely geared towards K-12 students who want information to register themselves in traditional El Camino College classes, but we will also touch on High School Partnerships Classes – largely to distinguish the differences between these two types of Dual Enrollment. (The steps are the same, but Steps 3 & 4 of the Steps for Dual Enrollment are done for students in High School Partnership Classes.)

Thursday, January 19, 20235:30-6:30 PM (1 hour)

Sign up for this Zoom event!
