Dual Enrollment through West Valley College

What is Dual Enrollment? 

The Dual Enrollment (DE) program is a partnership between Campbell Union High School District (CUHSD) and West Valley College (WVC). The program is available to 10th, 11th and 12th-grade students
  • Students earn both high school and college credit. Every 3-unit West Valley course gives 10 high school credits.
  • Courses and units earned transfer to West Valley College as well as other community colleges and universities.
  • Get a head start on college while earning high school credits or make-up credits needed for high school graduation.
  • Courses are part of a major, college general education, and/or electives.
  • Courses and textbooks are free to students.
  • Course offerings change each term: fall and spring.
  • Students are on the WVC calendar.
  • Students can enroll in classes at any CUHSD campus as long as it doesn't conflict with their Westmont bell schedule: Leigh High School, Branham High School, Del Mar High School, or Prospect High School. 

 

How do I become a Dual Enrollment student? 

  1. Apply to West Valley College by completing an online CCCApply Application. You will receive a CCC ID# (e.g., AF861972) via email; this is not your College ID#. Your CCC ID# will give you access to the online application.
    • Within 5 minutes to 2 hours, you will receive your West Valley College G# (e.g., G08XXXXXX) via email. Save this number in a place you can easily access it because you will need it moving forward. Email the Admissions Office if you do not receive your G# within 2 hours - include your full name, CCC ID#, and date of birth.

What do I do if I have an IEP or 504 plan at Westmont High School (WHS)?

  1. Complete the online registration.
  2. Upload documentation of disability (e.g., IEP, 504 plan or physician's verification).
  3. Make an appointment with a DESP counselor to complete program registration by calling 408-741-2010.
