CCAP Dual Enrollment (College and Career Access Pathways)

Key Features:

Formal Agreement: Offered through a partnership between a high school district and Yuba College under a legal CCAP agreement (Education Code §76004).
Location: Courses are taught at the high school or college campus or online; some may be offered during the regular high school day.
Target Students: Designed to also support underrepresented students or those who may not already be college-bound.
Cost: Free for students – tuition, textbooks, and materials are included and paid for by the school district.
Credits: Students can sometimes earn both high school and college credit for the same course.
Scheduling: Usually follows the college calendar (even though classes may be during the high school day).
Closed Sections: These classes are not open to the general public—only to students from the partnering high school.

Example: A 10th grader takes “Intro to Psychology” before the high school day at the Yuba College campus with a Yuba College instructor. Students can sometimes earn both high school and college credit for the course, depending on school policies.

Concurrent Enrollment

Key Features:

Independent Enrollment: The student enrolls in college courses on their own, without needing a special district agreement.
Location: Classes are taken at the college campus, online, or in some cases at other locations—not embedded in the high school schedule.
Target Students: Open to all eligible high school students, regardless of grade or background.
Cost: Tuition is typically waived, but students may have to pay for books or other fees.
Credits: Students earn college credit, and sometimes high school credit if approved by the school district.
Scheduling: Follows the college schedule and is often outside of the regular high school day.

Example: An 11th grader signs up for an evening English class at Yuba College on their own and attends alongside regular college students.
