Can I take Dual Enrollment classes during the school day?

No. Students are expected to complete their college coursework outside of the regular NCA school day while maintaining full participation in their high school schedule.

Will NCA help me apply?

Yes! NCA will walk students through the application and enrollment process and provide a staff member to answer general questions.

Who chooses my college classes?

Students and parents are responsible for selecting courses that align with the student's future educational goals. NCA does not select Dual Enrollment courses.

What if I struggle in my college class?

Students should first contact their college instructor or utilize tutoring and academic support services offered by the college or university. NCA may be able to provide additional tutoring if a qualified staff member is available.

Important Reminder

Participation in Dual Enrollment is a privilege that requires strong time-management skills, personal responsibility, and academic maturity. Students should carefully consider their current workload before enrolling in college-level courses.
