<p>I'm going to start my senior year in the fall and I'm going to enroll in my home-based public high school (transferring from a private school), but I am doing this so that I could do dual enrollment at a community college nearby. If I want to take my dual enrollment courses on campus at the CC does that mean I still have to take courses at my high school? Or do I take ALL my courses at CC? Also, do I graduate at the high school along with everyone else at the end of the year? </p>
<p>Usually, you would still take courses at your high school. I dual enrolled this year and still had to take some classes at my high school. If I accumulate enough credits to warrant an associate’s degree by the end of next school year, I can graduate with the community college and with my high school. If not, then I graduate with just the high school. It all depends. I’d ask the high school you’re attending this fall how their dual enrollment program works. </p>

Not usually, but you might if you still have graduation requirements to meet. I finished all my graduation requirements by the end of my junior year, and in my senior year I did full-time dual enrollment. The dual-enrollment college or the high school might have restrictions on how many classes you can take, and it will cost a lot of money to take classes full time if your state doesn’t pay for it. You can use dual-enrollment classes to meet graduation requirements, but this can make them more difficult to transfer to universities, and you might have to take more than one class to fulfill each requirement.
Yes. You’ll still be considered a high school student (even if you get an associate’s degree). </p>
