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. 
• Special Admit 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.​
