Get an Early Start on Your College Experience
Lemoore College's High School Dual Enrollment program is designed to provide current high school students the opportunity to get an early start on their college experience through college level instruction.
Key Information
-
The term dual enrollment refers to students being enrolled—concurrently—in two different educational institutions. This means that a student enrolled in high school may be dual enrolled at a local institution of higher learning, in this case Lemoore College or Coalinga College. If students pass their college courses, they will receive credit towards a Lemoore College degree or certificate. Depending on the high school, the student may also receive credit towards their high school diploma.
-
There are many advantages to participating in dual enrollment.
- In some cases, the student may be able to attain an Associate’s degree at the same time or shortly after their high school graduation.
- Dual enrollment is a cost‐efficient way for students to accumulate college credits because courses are free and taken through the local high school.
- Participation in dual enrollment may ease the transition from high school to college by giving students a sense of what college academics are like.
-
Dual enrollment courses are different in that they are taught to the rigor of a college course. Students will be using the same textbooks and syllabi as they would if they were taking a course at Lemoore or Coalinga College. As such, please be aware that discussion topics and course materials are generally designed for adult students and may not be appropriate for younger students. Assignments will be graded using college rubrics and standards. The final grade the student receives in their dual enrollment course will be recorded on an official college transcript.
-
In some instances, if your student chose a section that meets face to face, you still will need to travel to the college campus. There are online options in which your student will not need to travel to the College. Please make sure your student has a conversation with their high school counselor to review our course schedule and the implications related to online education. Additionally, we have a small selection of courses taught at your student’s local high school.
-
Dual enrollment is a great option for many high school students. However there are some things to be aware of when taking a dual enrollment course.
- If a student fails a course as a dual enrollment student, the student will need to retake that course before being allowed to enroll in future classes.
- Too many failed dual enrollment classes will jeopardize future college enrollment and possibly financial aid.
- If a student needs additional support and is failing English, Math and has a low GPA, then a college course may not be the best choice.
- Financial aid has a 90 unit limit and thus dual enrollment courses must be carefully selected with the advice of a college counselor
Remember: Participating in a dual enrollment class is an important decision and should involve a conversation between you, your student, and your high school counselor.

Prerequisites:
- When a course has prerequisite requirements, students are required to have pre-existing knowledge to be successful in the course. For example, successful completion (a grade of C or better) is required in FLSPN 1 or a full year of high school Spanish is required to be considered for enrollment in FLSPN 2.
- For courses with an English or math prerequisite, students must submit a copy of their high school transcripts for WHCL to evaluate whether the student meets the course prerequisite.
- If the student has completed the prerequisite course at a different college, they must submit an unofficial transcript to receive a prerequisite waiver. The prerequisite requirement must be cleared prior to registration.
