CTE and Dual Credit Academics

• Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are the advantages of my child participating in the dual enrollment program?

    Students have the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit, with successful completion of dual enrollment course(s). Benefits for students include: 

    • Realistic idea of what college course and course work would be like.
    • Dual enrollment courses can be less expensive when taken as a high school student, earning college credit at a reduced rate. 
    • Dual enrollment courses allow students to explore areas of academic interest.
    • High school students are accumulating college credits establishing their permanent college transcript, helping them graduate college early or on time. 
    • Students have the opportunity to work towards completing a college program (i.e. occupational endorsement, certificate, or associate degree) while in high school.

  • Why can’t I register for my class? 
    Most of the time a student can’t register for a class because there is a hold on their account. A common hold would be that a Student Parent Agreement is needed. Have you submitted one?

  • Will IEPs and 504 plans apply at UAA | Mat-Su College?
    Students who experience disabilities are an important part of our MSC student body. The College approaches providing equal opportunities for students who experience disabilities as a campus-wide responsibility and commitment. College accommodations may differ from high school services and are based on one's diagnosis in combination with one's experience in the learning environment, and the federal guidelines for college students. Students will need to make an appointment with UAA | Mat-Su College Disability Support Services (DSS) to develop services for college classes.
