Dual Enrollment

High school students who dually enroll are more likely to:

  • Earn higher grades in high school
  • Graduate from high school
  • Attend a post-secondary university
  • Earn a post-secondary degree

 

New Jersey students have multiple pathways to earn both secondary and post-secondary course credits. Dual enrollment is one of these pathways. As a course, dual enrollment is one for which students may simultaneously earn high school and college credits.

Based on the reporting of the Dual Enrollment Commission, this website is a living resource providing guidance and tools for addressing common barriers to increasing dual enrollment with a step-by-step toolkit, promising practices, and contact information to support local education agencies and Institutions of higher education in collaborating for equitably advancing high-quality education to NJ Learners.
