Dual Enrollment/ Concurrent Enrollment
Dual Enrollment:
Dual Enrollment classes offer students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. These college-level courses are taught at Marina High School, either by a high school teacher with the appropriate credentials or through a collaboration between a high school teacher and a college professor. Grades earned in these classes will appear on both the student's high school and college transcripts.
Concurrent Enrollment:
Concurrent Enrollment classes are college level classes taught at the college. Concurrent Enrollment consists of both classes that are approved for high school and college credit that are college credit only.
Approved concurrent enrollment classes are selected classes at Golden West College (GWC) that allow students to earn both high school and college credit. Classes may also be used to meet high school graduation requirements. A grade for this class will be listed on both the high school and college transcript.
Non-Approved Concurrent Enrollment classes are all other classes offered at GWC. These classes are open to all students who meet the college required prerequisites. These classes will appear on the high school transcript as a class notation only. Grades will be listed on the college transcript.
Note: OCC, IVC, etc. do not have Dual Enrollment partnerships with the HBUHSD, If a student chooses to take a class at OCC, students will earn college credit only.
