Dual Enrollment courses offer an opportunity for students to complete a college class, while still attending high school - receiving both high school and FCC college credit.
A. The term dual enrollment refers to students being enrolled—concurrently—in two different educational institutions.

If students pass their college classes, they receive credit that may be applied toward their high school diploma and toward an FCC college degree or certificate.
