Steps for High School Partnership Classes

It is the responsibility of the student to complete the steps below to dual enroll in High School Partnership Classes.

Students risk not receiving college credit if all steps are not completed by the Last Day to Add.

K-12 students apply for admission using CCCApply. This creates your El Camino College student account.

  • If you already have an El Camino College student account and have not missed consecutive fall and spring semesters since the term for which you applied, proceed to Step 2.
  • Students need to Apply for Admission Again if they do not enroll for consecutive fall and spring terms — and also to attend El Camino College after high school.

Important Notes!

Please read before clicking the link to apply.

  • Applying is a two-part process: first to Create an Account, and then to Start a New Application. Take your time and enter all identifying information accurately.
  • Do not use your school email address. Doing so may lead to issues with verification or receiving your Welcome Email. Use a personal email address which you can access now and after high school.
  • Select the earliest term you wish to start taking classes. For example: students who select Fall Semester 2026 will be eligible for Fall 2026 and beyond, but will not be eligible for Summer 2026.
  • Select a College Enrollment Status of "enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time." Otherwise you will not be able to access DualEnroll.

El Camino College uses DualEnroll for online registration in High School Partnership Classes.

Students, Parents, and High School authorized users (typically a counselor or administrator) each complete steps in DualEnroll.

It is the responsibility of the Student, Parent, and High School to complete their steps before the Start Date of the class — or by the Last Day to Add the class at the very latest.

Student Steps

Follow the directions in this Student Guide for High School Classes:

Student Guide – High School Classes

Parent Step

Parent Consent is a step that is completed by a student's parent or guardian.

This step is completed only one time! For more information, see Page 7 of the Student Guide.

High School Step

Every class selected in DualEnroll requires approval from a high school counselor or other administrator.

Registration

After both Parent and High School steps are completed, DualEnroll will attempt to register you in the class.

Check Your Status

Students can click the Status tab in DualEnroll to check what step they are on for each class.

Enrolled courses and grades earned will appear on your El Camino College transcript for college credit.

  • Final grades are submitted by instructors up to 7 days after the End Date of the class, and only then become visible on a student's El Camino College transcript.
  • To check your transcript, follow this tutorial:

Any and all high school credit is determined by your high school. Each high school sets their own policies and procedure to obtain credit.
