Dual/Concurrent Enrollment
Dual and concurrent enrollment are both great opportunities for students to earn college credit. Please visit the Bakersfield College website for more information: Bakersfield College Dual/Concurrent Enrollment
All Dual Enrollment or Concurrent Enrollment requests to any college will only be processed and/or approved after the student has met with their counselor. This does not pertain to dual enrollment classes offered at Centennial. The counselor will review the request(s) with the student and complete the contract, if applicable. Students only need a contract if they are receiving high school credit for the college course. And, students can only earn high school credit if they have completed their 10th-grade year and have an impacted schedule per district policy.

Dual Versus Concurrent Enrollment
Dual Enrollment classes are college courses taught on our campus by one of our teachers. The students are walked through the enrollment process in their class at the beginning of the semester. All fees and required materials are provided.
Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught at the college campus by college instructors. These classes are taken outside of the regular school day. The tuition is waived, but minimal fees apply and must be paid by the student. Textbooks are not provided and must be purchased by the student, if required. Student must submit a Dual Enrollment and Bakersfield College application. See Dual Enrollment Instructions below.
*Students can earn college credit only for classes taken via Concurrent Enrollment beginning the spring semester of their 9th grade year.
