Dual Enrollment Policies
  1. Dual enrollment registration typically begins three (3) weeks prior to the starts of the semester/session. Exact dates are listed below.
  2. All dual enrollment students are required to submit the Dual Enrollment Form via email.
  3. Students may only register for courses that have been approved by their high school principal or designee. All substitutions must be approved by the high school designee and re-submitted through a new Dual Enrollment form to Admissions & Records.
  4. If a class is full, students may add themselves to the waitlist for the next available space in the course. Should space in the class become available students will be notified via email and have 48 hours from the time the notification is sent to register online. Once the 48 hours have passed if a student has not registered the seat will be offered to the next student on the list.

  6. Kinesiology and 900-level courses are not eligible for Dual Enrollment.

  8. Review the class schedule to ensure you meet all Academic Deadlines.
  9. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner – see “Code of Student Conduct” (missioncollege.edu, “Schedule & Catalog”).
Students in the 9th Grade or Below
