K-12 Dual Enrollment

Visit the IVC Class Schedule. Find a class and write down the Course Reference Number (CRN) or ticket number. You may enroll in up to 11-units per semester or summer session.

Check the class description to see if it has a prerequisite.
Visit the Prerequisite & Corequisite Clearance webpage for details on how to submit evidence to clear the prerequisite.

Which classes should a student in grade 9-12 take at the college? 
Speak with a college counselor to ensure classes meet your long-term educational goal or your goal as a K-12 student taking college classes.

General Recommendations

• Take classes that meet the Cal-GETC general education requirements for UC's and CSU's. This may be suited for students that are uncertain about their major of study. The Attribute field in the college schedule can help you determine if a class counts for an area in Cal-GETC.
• Take major courses in your area of interest. If you have a 4-year university in mind, you can visit assist.org to see how IVC courses transfer to the institution and program of interest (meets major requirements or elective credits, etc.).
• Take courses in the college's Career Education programs (leading to short-term certificates or acquire the skills needed for fast-track employment).
• Take classes in the Counseling department for college/career preparation or exploration.

If you have not taken a class in the past year, you will need to re-apply to IVC.

• Visit IVC California Community College (CCC) Apply.
