Off-Campus High School Courses and Chaffey College Dual Enrollment 

Please watch this informational webinar on the revised guidelines for attending dual enrollment and off-campus high school courses.  

Students can start their college journey while in high school by attending Chaffey College courses.  This means you are enrolled as BOTH a college student and a high school student at the same time. In partnership with Chaffey College, there are CCAP and Non-CCAP Dual Enrollment Courses. 

CCAP stands for College and Careers Access Pathways Dual Enrollment Courses. These are offered during the school day on our District campuses.

Non-CCAP Dual Enrollment Courses are offered through the HSP and HSPFLEX program and take place either online or in-person outside of the student’s regular school day. See more about the HSP and HSPFLEX programs below. 

Chaffey College HSP & HSPFLEX Dual Enrollment programs:

• • Free tuition, books, and fees
  • Limited course offerings (approximately 30 courses)
  • Asynchronous and online courses
  • Chaffey College registers students for courses after site dual enrollment liaison approval

• Free tuition, students pay for books and fees
• More catalog courses offerings on the Chaffey College campus or online
• Students register for courses on their own after site dual enrollment liaison approval
