Dual Enrollment
Chandler Gilbert Community College (CGCC) partners with East Valley high schools to offer Dual Enrollment (DE) credit for academic and occupational classes. Dual Enrollment courses are held on the Chandler High School campus and are taught by our high school instructors who have met community college qualifications. Students earn college credits at the same time as they earn their high school credits. With Dual Enrollment credit offerings, we strive to ease the transition from high school to college, to increase the number of college-bound students in our community, and enable our students to earn community college credits while in high school. One of the ten Maricopa Community Colleges, Chandler-Gilbert Community College, is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and is a member of the North Central Association (NCA).

For High School Students, Dual Enrollment:
- Eliminates potential duplication of advanced/honors high school courses and introductory/survey college courses.
- Provides access to CGCC libraries, as well as remote library access for research databases.
- Allows students to complete credits that apply towards their general education requirements, letting them focus on courses within their major area of study when they enroll at a university.
- Provides a cost-effective head start on a college education, enabling students to earn a four-year degree in as little as three years.
- Allows students to know how their college credits will transfer (instead of the transferability being dependent on an advanced placement test score).
Transferability
Check out The Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) on the AZ Transfer link. It shows how courses transfer from community college to ASU, NAU and U of A.
*Be aware that the transferability of a course does not indicate how the course will apply to meet requirements or specific bachelor's degrees.
