Dual Enrollment (PSEO)

? Is Dual Enrollment (PSEO) for me?

Want to knock out college credits by taking college classes for high school and college credit while you go to high school? Are you motivated and responsible enough for the challenge? If so, read on!

? What are Dual Enrollment courses?

Made possible by the Colorado State Legislature, these college courses offer a variety of options to qualified high school students to provide excellence in education.

? How do I find out if I am ready for Dual Enrollment?

All dual enrollment students must complete Accuplacer testing through CNCC or provide current qualifying ACT reading, English and math scores by the 1st day of fall classes.

? What are the Accuplacer/ACT requirements for Dual Enrollment classes?

? Who pays what?

If you complete Dual Enrollment courses with a “C” or better, your School District will pay for your tuition. You are responsible for payment of all other fees (dual enrollment fee, student fees, enrollment fees, high cost program fees and books). Students who do not successfully complete dual enrollment courses are responsible for all expenses.

? Do I have to apply for the Colorado Opportunity Fund or pay $89.00 per credit out of my own pocket?

That's right – The Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF) was created by the Colorado Legislature to provide financial support for eligible students for higher education but you have to apply to get the stipend. Funds are not income based - apply for the fund before registering for classes at www.CollegeinColorado.org
