Concurrent Enrollment

Click Here to Apply!

DCAC & EAOP Concurrent Enrollment program partners with five bay Area community colleges to offer cohort 10th and 11th-grade students the opportunity to enroll in spring college courses. Students build a more competitive college application profile by earning transferable college credit through virtual or in-person classes, without paying tuition, fees or course material costs. Students will select from a list of transferable courses that will appear on official transcripts to be reported on college applications. In addition to the enrolled community college course, students will attend Saturday Academic Skill Seminars (SASS), which cover topics such as: navigating college resources, financial literacy, honing professional development and networking skills to successfully transition to college and more.
