Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?

These courses are Palomar College courses, taught by Palomar College hired professors in sections that are exclusively for our students. SMUSD students that participate and pass these courses receive weighted credit on their high school transcript that count towards high school graduation, can receive university transferable credit (4-year & 2-year), and UC and/or CSU a-g credit as well. Additionally, both the course and the books are free for SMUSD students.

Items you will need to apply:

- CCC Apply Account (either updated if you have previously taken a Dual Enrollment Class or new if you have never taken a Dual Enrollment Class)
- CCC-ID #, Confirmation # and Palomar ID (you will get from your CCC Apply Account)

- K12 Form and Consent to Treatment of Minor form 

- SMUSD Student/Parent/Guardian Dual Enrollment Agreement

For more information on Dual Enrollment courses, please visit our Future Center or speak to your counselor.

It is important to note that Palomar College has their own online platform called MyCanvas. Students will use their Palomar College ID and Palomar email address to access course content/classroom meetings.

In addition, please keep in mind that these are college courses and Palomar’s deadlines for adding/dropping a course are set by Palomar and may differ from SMUSD high school courses.

*Courses are based upon enrollment and will differ each semester*
