Central Alabama Community College provides postsecondary instructional opportunities to eligible high school students through the State Board of Education Policy 801.03, Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit for High School Students. This policy allows eligible high school students to enroll in college classes concurrently with high school classes, and to receive both high school and college credit where appropriate.
High school students should contact their high school counselor or the Admission’s Office at CACC for enrollment forms. These forms must be completed by the high school counselor and signed by all appropriate persons and then returned to the CACC Admission’s Office along with a current high school transcript and proper photo identification. Dual enrollment students will be contacted along with other freshmen at a later date regarding orientation and registration after all forms are received.
