What are the benefits of dual enrollment?

Taking dual enrollment classes allows you to earn college credits while you are still in high school. These credits can be transferred to a four-year college or university; however, you should contact your intended college's admissions office to ensure that your credits transfer completely.

Taking dual enrollment classes allows students to:

  • Save time and money
  • Earn college credits while still in high school
  • Transition from high school to college with ease
  • Work towards accelerated degree completion

What does it mean to Audit a course?

Audit indicates that the student has registered for the course for no academic credit. The College's Registration Calendar outlines specific dates associated with the audit process. The course instructor determines and communicates expectations and work required. Students who do not meet the instructor's expectations will receive an "AW." Some courses may not be audited. If a student plans to transfer credit to another institution, the course must be taken for academic credit. 

What if I am waitlisted for a class?

Students should register early for courses to get the schedule and sections they need. You will be notified through your Montco Student email if you are waitlisted for a class.

You will receive an email with your next steps if a seat becomes available. Students must email waitlist@mc3.edu within 24 hours of when that email was sent to claim their seat. After this time, the seat is offered to the next person in line.
