CCAP vs. Non-CCAP Dual Enrollment
College-level classes, but you pick the setting.
-
Classes
Both CCAP and Non-CCAP dual enrollment classes are considered college-level classes.
CCAP: You take college-level classes at your high school; they are taught by high school teachers. Fellow students are high school students. You work with your high school counselor to schedule these classes.
Non-CCAP: You take college-level classes directly with the college; they are taught by college instructors. Fellow students are college students. You can select any course where you meet the prerequisites except English as a Second Language (ESL), Physical Education (PE), or Developmental Education (DE) courses.
-
Cost
CCAP: No direct cost to you – it’s considered part of your high school enrollment. This includes textbooks.
Non-CCAP: Short answer – it depends!
