Course Descriptions COLLEGE SERVICES & REGULATIONS Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 19 Dual Enrollment Dual Enrollment provides an opportunity for eligible high school students to take college level courses at their high school. These courses allow students to earn both high school and college credit for the same class. Classes meet at the high school during the regular school day and are taught by college certified instructors using approved curriculum and texts. The credits earned may be used toward an Associate's degree, and most can transfer to universities. Dual Enrollment courses let students begin their college career in a convenient and affordable way. These courses enhance learning and promote higher level cognitive skills. Best of all, transition from high school to college begins early and occurs in a familiar and comfortable environment.
