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 9th, 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.

- Dual Enrollment units transfer to other colleges and universities.
- Courses and textbooks are free to students.
- Fall and Spring courses vary each term.
- Dual Enrollment students must use the WVC calendar.

Essential Information
This upcoming spring 2026 semester, West Valley College is offering several classes to the high schools in CUHSD. Some important facts about students enrolled in the Dual Enrollment Program:
- Dual enrollment classes follow the WVC calendar. For this upcoming spring 2026 semester, the courses start on January 26 and end on May 22. Some holidays may differ between WVC and CUHSD. Students are expected to attend class in accordance with the WVC calendar. WVC observes President’s Day on February 16 and spring break on March 31-April 4.
- Courses students complete, and grades earned, remain on the student’s permanent college transcript. Students can use these units towards high school graduation, towards a WVC degree or certificate, and at other colleges and universities attended in the future.
- Students who opt to take a class become WVC students for that term. This means that students have privacy rights, are permitted to use WVC facilities, and are subject to the WVC student code of conduct.
- Course textbooks will be provided during the first week of class at no cost to the student. Students are required to return those textbooks at the end of the term.
- Students are permitted to enroll in any class, even if the class is not held on the student’s campus.
- LRSV 1, Learning Strategies for College and Careers, is designed for students on Individual Education Plans (IEPs). It is a great opportunity to facilitate an introduction into college, learn to navigate college systems, and essential life skills that support student success.
- CHST 63, Child, Family, and Community is a great class as a stand-alone or for those who have taken CHST 2, Child Growth and Development. Students that complete both CSHT 2 and 63 satisfy Title 22 licensing to work as an assistant in a childcare center when they turn 18 years old.
- Completed applications for the Spring 2026 term must be submitted to your counselor by Monday, December 8.
