Dual enrollment (DuE) is an opportunity for high school students to take college-level courses. Participation in dual enrollment allows students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously; thus, decreasing students' time to complete a college degree and saving them tuition costs. Other questions answered in the guide include: (1) How does dual enrollment differ from Advanced Placement (AP) courses and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses? (2) What are the benefits of DuE courses? (3) How can students enroll in DuE courses? (4) What types of DuE programs are available? and (5) With whom should students and families connect to learn more about DuE?
