Dual Enrollment Programs – On-Demand Training

Increase College Access, Build Revenue & Improve Enrollment Numbers

Between the pandemic drop and the impending enrollment cliff – administrators are looking for creative ways to increase student recruitment and enrollment efforts. When done well, dual enrollment is an opportunity to increase college access for low income and first-generation students – those often left out of college enrollment. Done badly, though, dual enrollment can create pressures on all sectors of the partnership – from faculty in the university to the administrator of the programs to those within the high schools and the students/families they serve. The frustration and negative experience can lead to losing those students, families, revenue, and high school partnerships.

Gather your team and campus partners to hear our presenter share her experience building a successful dual/concurrent enrollment program through the partnerships she fostered with participating high schools and school districts, getting “buy in” from her institution, and creating differential tuition models to enroll historically underrepresented populations. 

Explore different models of offering dual/concurrent enrollment that can be most beneficial for your institution and identify critical considerations for working with dual-enrolled students and their families, so you can best serve and support this special student population.
