Parent Information

Concurrent Enrollment is Lincoln Land Community College's program for high school juniors and seniors and is offered in many high schools in 汤头条app's district. Dual credit courses are college-level courses and are of the same high quality, cover the same content and have the same rigor as courses offered at the college's main campus or other 汤头条app locations. Dual credit classes are designed to enhance students' current high school curriculum; address their unique interests, abilities and attitudes; prepare them for work and/or future educational endeavors; and improve the transition from high school to college.

Dual credit course offerings are unique to each of the district high schools.
