Dual Enrollment Courses: For Academic and CTE Courses
Setting Up Dual Enrollment College Courses for academic courses in the Course Catalog:
- Use an acronym or a short description of the specific College in the course name.
- List the exact name of College Course as listed in the College Course Catalog.
- Be sure to ONLY USE one of the CALPADS COURSE CODES for Dual Enrollment courses (see FAQs at the end of this manual)
In the Edit Course area of the Course Catalog:
- Always choose a Dual Enrollment College Course code for any dual-enrollment Course. (CTE Dual-Enrollment courses will be covered later in the manual.)
- Consider copying/pasting the Description of the College Course as it shows in the specific College Catalog.
- In the Non Std Instructional Level field, be sure to pick College Credit from the drop-down.
- Remember to SAVE changes.
Dual-Enrollment CTE College Courses:
The process for CTE Dual Enrollment is DIFFERENT than the process for academic courses:
- Use an acronym or a short description of the specific College in the course name.
- List the exact name of College Course as listed in the college course catalog.
- Be sure to use the appropriate CALPADS COURSE CODE for CTE courses (4000-5999). In the example below notice that the CALPADS code 5845 – for Criminal law – is used. (Notice you are not using any of the dual-enrollment academic codes here.)
- IMPORTANT: go in to the Edit Course area and choose College Credit from the Non Std Instruction Level drop-down.
- Remember: a college courses are a-g. Be sure and choose the appropriate A-G State Univ. Requirement Met designation.
- Also remember to check the appropriate CTE Information on the lower right-hand side of the page.
- Any course that is part of a CTE Pathway needs to have the 154 box checked.
- SAVE your changes.
