What is Dual Enrollment?

Dual enrollment is an exciting and unique opportunity for all high school students to earn FREE TRANSFERABLE college credit through Santa Ana College. 

• High school students (also known as special admit students) can take courses taught at their high school, at SAC, on the weekends, or online. Students can enroll in up to 15 units every fall and spring, 6 units max for winter intersession, and 9 units max for summer (as long as any course prerequisites are met).​​​​​​​
• ​Students who are currently enrolled in grades K-8 must obtain approval from the appropriate Santa Ana Academic Division Dean. Please contact the Dual Enrollment Office to assist with this process. 
• Adult School/Continuing Ed Center (CEC) students must obtain approval from the appropriate CEC Dean or Administrator. Please contact the Dual Enrollment Office for more information.​
