Dual Enrollment is a college prep academic program offered to Victor Valley Union High School District students. The district has partnered with Victor Valley College (VVC) to provide college courses to students. These courses are taught by VVC Associate Faculty.
Students are admitted to the courses based on the qualifying assessment required by VVC. Dual enrollment creates access for high school students to participate in post-secondary education opportunities while reducing college costs for students and families. Each class may provide transferable units completed for CSU’s, UC’s, and private universities.
