Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?
Through partnerships with our K-12 districts, students eligible for high school have the opportunity to begin their college career while paying no tuition for college classes. High school students can earn college AND high school credits at the same time when they take classes at SBCC, take SBCC classes at their high school, and take SBCC classes online.

(Note: students currently attending another college/university and are interested in taking SBCC courses, please complete Transfer Students steps to enrollment)
