Dual Credit Program

IMPORTANT: DUAL CREDIT REGISTRATION WINDOW HAS CHANGED. Atlantic Cape dual credit registration will now open on November 10, 2023 and remain open until March 15, 2024.

What is Dual Credit?

Dual enrollment programming provides an opportunity for high school students to earn college credit by taking college-level courses while simultaneously earning their high school diploma. 

Dual credit courses are taught by Atlantic and Cape May County high school teachers who meet college-level educational standards. These high school teachers work closely with Atlantic Cape faculty liaisons to ensure the academic rigor the students exhibit in their high school course is equivalent to Atlantic Cape’s college course.  Upon dual credit course completion, you receive a letter grade that is then recorded on your official Atlantic Cape Community College transcript.
