Dual Enrollment Overview
-
Maricopa Community Colleges and Gilbert Public Schools have designed a cooperative program that allows students to earn both high school and college credits.
These classes are held on the high school campus as part of the regular school day. Dual credit classes will only be offered if a qualified teacher is available. If students are to receive community college credit, they must pay community college tuition. They may also need to pass the EdReady test.
Parents/students will self register for courses and pay using the Student Information Center at the time of registration. Upon successful completion of these courses, students may transfer credits to other colleges or universities. It is the students'responsibility to find out if in-state universities accept credits. Students should check the transferability of their courses to in-state universities. Acceptance and applicability of transfer credits by out-of-state universities vary by institution.
Courses, which may be offered for community college credit, are noted in the description of each course in the Course Description Book and are noted as “dual credit”. S/U grade option will not be allowed for these courses.
Please visit the Chandler-Gilbert Community College or the Mesa Community College Website for a complete list of courses that will be offered for dual credit.

Concerned about the cost of Dual Enrollment? If you’re a high school student enrolled in CGCC’s Dual Enrollment program, you can apply for Dual Enrollment Tuition Assistance to help.
Placement and Testing
GPA can now be used as a way to meet the prerequisites for some dual enrollment classes. As an example, juniors and seniors can use an unweighted GPA for classes (except 200 and above level Math). For 200 and above level Math students will still need to meet the required prerequisite or score high enough on the math placement test. Multiple Measures for Math will no longer be needed.
In order for students to be eligible to use their unweighted GPA, they must have completed at least 2 years of high school. Because of this, freshmen and sophomores will still be required to take the appropriate placement test for their classes.
For a class that has no prerequisites, students will need to provide proof of some form of testing (PSAT, SAT, ACT, AZMerit, Accuplacer) or they will need to take the Reading Accuplacer. This is in compliance with the State Statute for Under 18 Admissions.
If you have any questions or need guidance on dual enrollment options contact your teacher or school counselor for guidance.

What is Dual Enrollment?
It's an opportunity for eligible high school students to earn lower-division college credit during their regular high school classes. The credits are treated the same as regular college credit, and are transferable to other Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona's state universities, and many out-of state colleges.

What are the benefits of Dual Enrollment?

How do I pay for my dual enrollment class(es)? When is payment due for my dual enrollment class(es)?
Registration and payment must be received by CGCC by September 17, 2018 for fall 2018 classes and February 11, 2019 for spring 2019 classes or students will be automatically dropped. No refunds will be issued after these dates. Payments go directly to CGCC.
Tuition can be paid in these ways:
- Pay with cash, check, money order, or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) in person at CGCC's Pecos campus or Williams Field campus cashier's office.
- Call the CGCC fiscal office at 480-732-7312 with your student number ready and provide a credit/debit card number to charge.
- Pay online at my.maricopa.edu by logging in to the Student Center with your MEID and password, then clicking the “Payment Options” button under the Finances section. This option allows you to pay all at once or sign up for a monthly payment plan (currently, separate payment plans must be set up for each semester of dual enrollment classes).

What if I don't want to do Dual Enrollment after signing up, or I change my schedule?
It is the student’s responsibility to drop the class through one of the following methods:
- Email the Dual Enrollment office at dualenrollment@cgc.edu with the student's name, college ID number, the high school the student attends, and the class the student wishes to drop; OR
- The student can come to the Coyote Center at our Pecos campus and fill out a drop/add form.
Please note that dropping a class after the payment deadline will result in a grade of W on your transcript. The W grade will not directly affect your GPA, but it may affect your future eligibility for federal financial aid (view CGCC policy here). You will also still be responsible for paying any remaining tuition for the class, or be ineligible for a refund if you've already paid for the class.

What happens if I don't pay tuition?
If tuition isn't paid (either in full or by setting up an online monthly payment plan), you will be dropped from your classes without notice. If you are dropped from your classes, you can request to be reinstated within two weeks of the payment deadline by coming to CGCC in person with a photo ID or emailing dualenrollment@cgc.edu and including your name, high school, and college ID number (the one that begins with a 3). We will not be able to accept reinstatement requests made over the phone or through a high school instructor/staff member.
