Motivated high school and homeschool students who are ready for college-level courses can enroll in college courses while attending their high school or homeschool program. Dual Enrollment allows qualified students to earn college credit while satisfying their high school graduation requirements.

Dual Enrollment courses are well suited for high school and homeschool students who:

• Want to take the general education courses that are required by most colleges and universities
• Are seeking enrichment opportunities beyond the classes offered at the high school*.
• Are seeking to distinguish themselves in the competitive college application process by demonstrating success in college courses and/or by demonstrating interest in their identified field of study.
• Want to save money on college tuition costs. Middlesex offers Massachusetts dual enrollment students a reduced tuition rate.

*Courses must still count towards high school graduation requirements

STEPS TO ENROLLMENT:

1. Discuss your plans and review the application materials with your guidance counselor or homeschool counselor.
   
   
2. Attend a Dual Enrollment Information Session
   
   
3. Fill out the following documents. You will need signatures from your high school officials
   • Dual Enrollment Application
   • English Multiple Measures Form and Math Multiple Measures Form  - this will determine your eligibility for college-level courses
   • Dual Enrollment Registration Form
     • The Dual Enrollment per credit rate for Fall 2024 will be $126 - 50 percent of the in-state tuition rate.  
4. Submit your high school transcript or homeschool approval letter
   
   
5. Submit your materials to DualEnrollment@middlesex.edu or by mailing them to:
