I find the language on CA very confusing when it comes to listing dual enrollment classes. Obviously any DE is noted on Current Courses, but are these classes ALSO listed under Colleges and Universities? What about past DE classes? Should they be listed under Colleges and Universities? Thank you.
Yes, that’s correct; if you took courses at a college or university, those courses would also be listed under “Colleges and Universities”.
Thank you. The DE classes I’m asking about are those that are offered in high school. So, college classes offered for high school credit go under Colleges and Universities?
Wondering about this myself.
Great question. When I worked with a student a few years ago who took his dual-enrolled classes at his high school, he did list the college with which they were associated. If you go to that particular college’s course list, you can see the high school classes listed, so for sure they count as college classes taken through that college at the local high school.
Bottom line: You can always contact colleges to which a student is applying if you are unsure.
D18 also has questions about this. There is no good way to report/link prior DE classes on the Common App. Her HS transcript doesn’t recognize classes taken DE as such; on her transcript the class is identified only as it appears in the HS curriculum guide and does not refer to the DE credit earned from the local state college.
So on the Common App she entered/identified the college under “Colleges and Universities”. Of course there is no way to identify what class she had taken so at the end of the Common App in the “additional info” section she mentioned that her College/University class is linked to her HS class “XXXX” and technically identified as “XXXX” in the curriculum guide of the college she listed. Hope that makes sense, just not sure how she could otherwise connect the DE class to her transcript.
Homeschool students always have their DE/college transcripts sent directly to colleges. I suspect you should be able to do the same.
