Dual Enrollment
Patterson High has partnered with Modesto Junior College to offer college classes to students. Dual enrollment means that students are enrolled in high school and college at the SAME time and have the opportunity to earn college credits TUITION FREE.
Please understand that students must:
- Be at least 13 years old
- Not register for more than 11 units per semester
- Purchase the required books and other course materials (if not taking a Patterson High CCAP course)
- Maintain a 2.0 GPA
Courses taken during the school day will be listed on your high school transcript and will count towards high school graduation requirements.
All courses taken WILL appear on the COLLEGE transcript and you will have to report them to every college you apply to for the rest of your educational career! For this reason, it is VERY important that you take the classes seriously and obtain passing grades since these grades will follow you!
The College & Career Counselor can help you through the steps of enrolling but after that, communication will be between you and the professor/college campus.
For more information, see Mrs. Thomas in the library.
