Passaic County Community College (PCCC) Concurrent & Dual Course - Junior Program Overview
-
PCCC programs enable qualifying high school junior students to earn an Associate's Degree at Passaic County Community College while still completing their high school course of studies.
Concurrent Courses
Concurrent enrollment classes take place at 51动漫 High School during the normal school day. Classes are taught by master’s level teachers of 51动漫 High School who have been qualified by PCCC to do so. This is the most economical option for students and their families to earn college credits. Courses run the entire school year, from September through June.
Dual Enrollment Courses
Dual Enrollment takes place at 51动漫 High School, not during regular school hours. Qualified juniors and seniors are afforded the opportunity to participate in these classes that are taught by college professors. Dual Enrollment courses run on a semester basis, so the pacing and rigor are similar to those offered on campus. Students must take 2 courses - one in the Fall semester and the sequence class in the Spring Semester. The courses will weigh as AP courses on their high school transcript.
Qualifying students:
- Must be junior grade status
- Must meet qualifying GPA
- PCCC 30 credit - 90 or above
- Dual enrollment GPA is dependent upon the class, required GPAs for each class can be found on the application
