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?
- 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.

- Complete the online registration.

- Make an appointment with a DESP counselor to complete program registration by calling 408-741-2010.
