Dual Enrollment at Your High School

K-12 students apply for admission online to create their 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 that term, 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.

Apply for Admission

If this is your first time applying, you will need to create an OpenCCC Account. Take your time and enter all identifying information accurately.

After signing into CCCApply, click the button to Start a New Application.

• Make sure to select the earliest term you wish to start taking classes. For example, if you apply for Summer Term 2026, you will eligible to enroll in Summer 2026 classes, but not Winter 2026 or Spring 2026 classes.
• K-12 students need to select a College Enrollment Status of "enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time" to be eligible for Dual Enrollment.

El Camino College is now using online DualEnroll software for registration in High School Partnership Classes.

DualEnroll replaces the paper/PDF Dual Enrollment Form (still in use for Dual Enrollment in traditional El Camino College classes).

Instructions for DualEnroll are distributed by high schools to their participating students.

Student

• Students access DualEnroll using their MyECC login credentials
  • Enter your @elcamino.edu email address to proceed
• The first time you sign into DualEnroll, complete your Profile by providing accurate student, parent, and high school information
• Under Courses, find and select your correct High School Partnership Classes only
  • Filter by Course Type "High School" to view the courses offered at your high school
    
  • All other Online and College Campus classes still require K-12 students to submit the paper/PDF Dual Enrollment Form and register using MyECC — see Dual Enrollment in El Camino College Classes

Parent

• Parent Consent is provided using a link sent via text or email — and only needs to be provided one time!

High School

• A high school counselor or administrator will use DualEnroll to confirm your class

El Camino College

• After Parent Consent is provided and your High School confirms your class, students will show as Pending Registration by El Camino College's Registrar

Students can return to DualEnroll at any time to view their Status showing where they are in the process.

K-12 students taking High School Partnership Classes are subject to the same deadline dates for dropping a class as college students. View the Academic Calendar to learn the Last Day to Drop Without Notation and Last Day to Drop with a "W" for each term.

• Typically, registered students drop themselves using MyECC. Instructions can be found at How do I drop a class?
• However, students who have a K-12 Hold on their account may experience an error when dropping. If this is the case, please communicate your drop request to the contact(s) for Dual Enrollment at your high school.

View Grading Policies for more information about the "W" (Withdrawal) notation and El Camino College grades and grade point average.

 

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:

  • Unofficial and Official Transcripts

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

 

Enrollment fees are waived for K-12 students who complete the Steps for Dual Enrollment to be manually registered into High School Partnership Classes.

In the event that you are charged fees for a High School Partnership Class, please read In Case of Fees for Dual Enrollment.
