News Flash . . . the reaming of the 2015 - 2016 school year starts today. While I know coming back to school off of a vacation is pretty hard, the school year must go on. To get back in the groove of things, I wanted to share with you a great opportunity. If you know or have a high school junior or senior, please share this information with them.
High school juniors and seniors have the opportunity to enroll in college level courses before their high school graduation. Students from local high schools may elect to enroll in one college course per semester at City College of Chicago and other local colleges. If your student enrolls in a CCC Dual Enrollment, they will be able to take their course at one of the seven City Colleges of Chicago campuses. Look at the Spring 2016 Dual Enrollment classes here and check out the qualifications below.
Just like with many great program, there is some minimal qualification that a students must meet.

- Be at least 16 years old. If student is younger than 16 and not a high school junior, the student must demonstrate college readiness in Math, Reading and Writing as well as obtain permission from the College President to participate.
- Provide current high school ID, Illinois State ID or Illinois Driver's License
- Fill out Permission Form
- Demonstrate being college-ready by the ACT, or the COMPASS placement test.
