Dual Enrollment

Butte College Dual Enrollment

Earn Butte College credit while taking courses at your high school during the regular school day!

Butte College has partnered with local high school districts to provide equitable access to college coursework and seamless career technical education and transfer pathways within a supportive environment. Introducing high school students to a variety of college course offerings will help students achieve college and career readiness and empower students to successfully transition to post-secondary institutions and/or the workforce.

Classes are offered on the high school campus during the regular school day and are taught by high school teachers who meet the minimum qualifications to teach at Butte College or a Butte College Instructor. Final grades earned will be posted to college transcripts. Students in danger of failing will be dropped from the college course to avoid negative impact on college transcripts.

Dual Enrollment Benefits:

• Earn college and high school credit at the same time;
• Explore career fields and pathways prior to graduation;
• Build self confidence in college-level coursework;
• Get a head start on a certificate or degree;
• Does not affect Butte Promise Scholarship eligibility;
• Save money and tuition on textbooks - this program is completely FREE!

Steps to Dual Enroll:

1. STEP 1: Meet with your high school counselor to select course(s).
2. STEP 2: Apply to Butte College during an application workshop.
3. STEP 3: Complete and sign a Dual Enrollment Consent Form, have your parent/guardian sign, and then turn into your teacher. 

Courses offered vary by high school. Butte College currently has dual enrollment partnership agreements with Biggs, Chico, CORE Butte, Durham, Gridley, Hamilton, Inspire, Las Plumas, Long Valley, Orland, Oroville, Paradise, Pleasant Valley, Princeton, and Willows High Schools. Students interested in taking dual enrollment courses should contact their high school counselor for information. Please note, grades become part of each student’s official college academic record.
