Dual Enrollment (K-12) Students

About the High School Dual Enrollment Program 

The High School Dual Enrollment program at Oxnard College allows eligible students to enroll in college courses and earn college credit with the possibility of earning high school credit simultaneously.  Participating students not only get a “taste” of college, but also get a head start on their college career and save money. Students complete assignments in the same manner as “regularly” admitted students and are given a final grade that is posted on their Oxnard College official college transcript.

Dual Enrollment (K-12) Students can register for courses online! Submit your Dual Enrollment Forms early to obtain approval to register online on your registration date. 

Note: High school seniors must complete a new online application for admission as a high school graduate. You will be prevented from registering as a regular student until you have done so. Graduating seniors will be able to register during new student registration after they complete an assessment, orientation, and an educational plan. Refer to the registration calendar for registration dates. Seniors taking courses during the Spring semester must complete the steps below to register as a dual enrollment student.
