DUAL ENROLLMENT
PROGRAM
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and
depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and
blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through
Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God.”
- Philippians 1:9-11
Dear Parents and Students,
Thank you for your interest in the Dual Enrollment Program at Calvary Chapel Christian School. By
enrolling in Dual Enrollment courses, your child will be able to earn college credit and high school
credit at the same time. In addition to preparing your child for college success, this opportunity can save
them thousands of dollars in college tuition.
These courses are optional and require an additional cost for tuition and fees. Your child must meet the
qualifications of the program to be accepted.
The Christian Universities we have partnered with share our vision of giving the best opportunity for our
students to develop a strong intellectual and moral character, and a Biblical perspective on the total
world view. We desire our students to be Christlike influences in the world doing everything is such a
way that pleases Him.
If you have any questions pertaining to our Dual Enrollment Program you may contact
Mrs. Davis at [email protected].
In His Grace,
Pastor Ed Arcalas
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment courses allow qualified high school students to enroll in college level classes that earn both high school and
college credit at the same time.
What are the qualifications to be enrolled in Dual Enrollment courses?
Be in the 10th-12th grade
Meet 3.2 GPA
Meet with guidance counselor
Earn qualifying score on Math or English placement test, if required
Earn qualifying score on SAT’s (only applies to UNWSP)
Please refer to the specific university and inquire with the CCCS Dual Enrollment Coordinator.
When do students complete coursework?
On-line courses:
Students will work on their On-line Dual Enrollment courses during an assigned period in the school day. The online classes
are led by the university instructor and a CCCS teacher provides support and guidance. If coursework is not completed during
the school day, it is the student’s responsibility to complete their work at home and submit their assignments when it is due. It
is important for students enrolled in On-line Dual Enrollment courses to be diligent and maintain good study habits as their
grade will remain on their permanent college transcripts.
On-site courses
We also offer a limited selection of CCCS taught dual enrollment courses. These courses are taught by CCCS faculty using
our school’s curriculum. Students in CCCS taught dual enrollment courses will be given college level coursework that is to
be completed when instructed in class or at home as homework.
Are Dual Enrollment courses transferable?
The universities we have partnered with are regionally accredited; therefore most universities that accept transfer credits
should accept the dual credits. Some courses may not be accepted within the student’s area of study. It is the student’s
responsibility to contact the appropriate college or university to see if the Dual Enrollment course(s) will be accepted.
How many Dual Enrollment courses can students take?
Students are limited to taking two dual enrollment courses a semester unless approved by the CCCS Administration.
What is the difference between Dual Enrollment courses and Advanced Placement courses?
AP courses require students to pass the AP exam at the end of the school year in order to receive college credit. Dual
Enrollment courses grant credit based on the completion of the course with a passing grade of “C” or better. The grades
students receive in Dual Enrollment courses are permanent and will appear on both high school and college transcripts.
REMINDERS
TEXTBOOKS FEES
On-line courses
Students enrolled in on-line Dual Enrollment courses will also be expected to purchase the assigned
textbook for the university course which they are registered in. Please inquire for more detailed
information on the materials required for a particular course.
On-site courses:
Students enrolled in on-site Dual Enrollment courses will be using the school curriculum which is
covered in the CCCS student text book fees
CREDIT AND GRADING
Final grades for Dual Enrollment courses will be reflected on both the student’s high school and college
transcript and on the college’s permanent record. Because Dual Enrollment coursework becomes a
permanent part of the student’s college transcript, it is important for students to be diligent and maintain
good study habits in these courses: the grades earned under dual credit are permanent and cannot
be removed from a student’s academic record.
GPA
Dual enrollment courses will be weighted in the calculation of the student’s grade point average (GPA)
on a five point scale. (A=5 points, B=4 points, C= 3 points, D=2, F=1). When applying for colleges,
please note that the weighted GPA is different from the student’s unweighted GPA. When looking into
colleges, inquire if they will be looking at your weighted GPA or unweighted GPA.
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Students must maintain a 3.2 GPA or above in order to stay in the Dual Enrollment program. The
universities we have partnered with are committed to ensuring that Dual Enrollment students experience
the same level of instruction, resources, and rigor that traditional college students receive. Students are
expected to be grounded in the Word of God, determined to succeed, and be independent in his or her
work and study habits. Since students in the Dual Enrollment program will be treated equally as college
level students, it is important that they are prepared for the challenges of the college level coursework.
REFUND POLICIES
Please refer to the university your child is enrolled in for information on their refund policy. Payments
are made directly to the university. Calvary Chapel Christian School is not responsible for handling any
payments or refunds for Dual Enrollment courses.
Why take dual enrollment courses?
If you have a true interest in a subject area and are willing to work hard, consider taking dual enrollment courses. You will
gain exposure to the rigorous course work expectations in college.
You will be able to:
transition easier between high school and college

Vision
Grand Canyon University is a premier Christian university educating people to lead and serve.
Mission
Grand Canyon University prepares learners to become global citizens, critical thinkers, effective
communicators and responsible leaders by providing an academically challenging, values-based
curriculum from the context of our Christian heritage.
The curriculum at GCU is designed to prepare students with the skills and knowledge needed in the
contemporary job market. Students are challenged to develop these tools and to push their intellectual
limits in order to become successful in their careers.
In addition, the curriculum fosters personal discovery so that students realize within themselves the
elements of compassion and accountability. A uniquely important element of the GCU mission
statement is the defining attribute of its Christian heritage. The GCU community defines its culture by
the way its members reflect a committed relationship with Christ and creates the GCU experience in a
manner that reflects His teachings to support students and graduates through a successful life journey.
These normative Christian values are integral to the development, maturity, and education of ethical and
morally respectable citizens who continue on the path of life-long learning. Each element or objective of
the GCU mission statement is uniquely addressed in the GCU curriculum and by the GCU culture,
which shapes a rich learning environment from which students graduate with professional and life
skills.
When learners graduate from GCU, our expectation is that they will be global citizens, critical thinkers,
effective communicators, and responsible leaders.
