Definition of Dual Enrollment
For the purposes of this survey, dual enrollment refers to high school students who earn college credits for courses taken through a postsecondary institution. Different institutions have different names for dual enrollment, including “dual credit,” “concurrent enrollment,” “joint enrollment,” etc. Please use the definition provided here when completing the survey, regardless of how your institution refers to high school students taking college-level courses. Please note that:
Courses may be part of a dual enrollment program, or courses may be taken by students outside of any such program.
“Dual enrollment program” is defined here as an organized system with special guidelines that allows high school students to take college level courses. The guidelines might have to do with entrance or eligibility requirements, funding, limits on course-taking, and so on.
High school students who simply enroll in courses through your institution, and are treated as regular college students, should not be considered as participating in a dual enrollment program.
Credit for courses may be earned at both the high school and college level simultaneously or only at the college level. Credit may be earned immediately or upon enrollment at your institution after high school graduation.
Courses may be taught on a college campus, on a high school campus, or at some other location.
The time frame for this survey is the 2002–03 12-month academic year, including courses taken during summer sessions. Do not include information about summer bridge programs for students who had already graduated from high school.
This survey should be completed by the person(s) most knowledgeable about dual enrollment at your institution.
