Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment programs offer high school students credit toward a high school diploma and college credit toward a certificate or degree. If you wish to get a head start on your college career, visit your high school counselor or principal to learn about the options available to you.

It is never too early to start preparing for college. Dual enrollment helps high school students maximize their time by earning college credit while still in high school.

Majors and Degree Options

{slider title="How much does it cost?" class="mystyle3"}

If you are a public, private, or home-school student, there are no tuition or registration fees for taking a dual enrollment course. Most public high schools cover the cost of textbooks for their students. If a high school does not cover this expense, your parent or guardian must purchase the textbook(s) needed for your course(s). If you are a homeschool student, your parent or guardian is responsible for purchasing your textbooks from the ENMU Campus Bookstore or an alternate book ordering service.

Note: Some courses include fees and material costs not waived by state dual enrollment. Parents and high school administrators are responsible for identifying any additional costs in your classes.

Concurrent enrollment, like dual enrollment, also allows you to take college courses while you are in high school, but there are a few differences. View the chart below to compare the two programs. Some courses are not available for dual enrollment and must be taken as concurrent enrollment. Check with your high school counselor for specific classes allowed for dual enrollment.
