Enrollment for High School Students

Dual Credit
Working in partnership with participating high schools, North Lake College offers the Dual Credit program for highly motivated high school juniors and seniors. Through Dual Credit you can earn college credit for classes which also fulfill high school graduation requirements. (A contract between North Lake College and the individual or school must be in effect for Dual Credit.)

Concurrent Enrollment
You can also earn college credit while in high school through concurrent enrollment. Courses taken through concurrent enrollment provide college credit only; however, the credit may be applied toward high school if prior approval has been received from your high school.
