What are the benefits of participating in the Dual Enrollment/Credit Program?

·  An increase in the number of education options

·  Savings in time and money for postsecondary courses leading to a degree

·  Dual Enrollment/Credit, with its college-credit-bearing component, is seen as a way to encourage students who might otherwise “slack-off” to engage in demanding coursework during the final year of high school

·  Greater collaboration between high school and college faculty and programs

·  Pathways for students to move “seamlessly” between the K-12 and postsecondary systems

·  Young people can begin to understand what will be expected of them as college students, potentially increasing their confidence and helping them to navigate the transition

·  The number of dual enrollment/credit hours that a student may take is governed by high school course load and courses desired from Co-Lin.
