What is Dual Enrollment?
The Dual Enrollment program is a partnership between the Fontana Unified School District and Chaffey College that allows high school students to concurrently enroll in college level courses while pursuing their high school diploma.
By participating in this program, Kaiser High School students will have the opportunity to take independent study college level courses, and if successful, earn transferable credits all before graduating high school.
-
Is Dual Enrollment for me?
Students taking Dual Enrollment courses are going above and beyond the normal rigors of high school education. In addition to their regular high school schedule, these students are electing to take additional college-level coursework outside of school independently.
Due to the rigor of taking extra classes, especially at the college level, it is recommended that students wishing to pursue Dual Enrollment coursework possess the following qualities:
-
A minimum 3.0 GPA
-
Successful completion of honors or AP coursework at the high school level
-
The ability to manage their time after school, especially if participating in extra-curricular activities
All students are encouraged to apply and seek information about the program even if they have never taken an honors/AP course. View the Chaffey College Dual Enrollment website or schedule a meeting with Mr. Ulate.

Can I earn High School credit for taking Chaffey College courses?
Yes! As long as you submit an official transcript to the school registrar with a posted passing grade, you will earn credit for the course you completed.
-
Will these college level courses count with an extra grade point like an AP courses?
Yes! Since you are taking a college level course in a shorter amount of time, in high school, you are eligible for an extra grade point for any credit earned in your Dual Enrollment courses.
-
How many classes can I take?
Up to 11 units (3 classes) each semester (Fall, Spring, & Summer). However, it should be noted that it is not recommended that you max out on units each semester due to the difficulty of the courses.
-
Do I have to list my Dual Enrollment grades on my college and university applications?
Yes. Any score received in the Dual Enrollment program must be submitted on any college or university application. At the end of any application, you sign an affidavit claiming that all information is accurate and that you didn't leave anything out.
-
I previously failed a Dual Enrollment course. Can I fix the grade?
Yes! You can retake the course which will replace your previous score of a D or an F. The previous D or F will not appear on your transcript. However, it will still indicate that you took the class before (which means you didn't pass with higher than a D). The failing grade will no longer be factored into your GPA.
