The catch nobody tells California families

Dual enrollment is bigger than ever, over 2.8 million high school students took college courses in 2023-24. But a course can be denied at transfer or accepted only as an elective when it does not fit the receiving college’s degree requirements.

Published rules can help a family evaluate courses before enrolling, but they do not guarantee acceptance or degree applicability. A Fastrack Credit Map cites the sources used and flags questions the family must confirm with the school district and receiving college.
