What is Dual Enrollment?
North Carolina’s Career & College Promise Program is an opportunity for high school students to earn credit for both their high school diploma and future college degree at the same time. College courses while in high school lead to certificate, diploma, degree, or state or industry-recognized credential.
Dual enrollment through Career and College Promise is tuition-free (please note that depending on the number of credits and the school system students attend, they may need to pay for fees and books) to all North Carolina students who meet eligibility requirements.
