Dual Enrollment
Earn college credits through Leigh High School
Dual Enrollment is a program for Campbell Union High School District sophomores, juniors, and seniors where students can earn college credits and high school credits. Every 3-unit West Valley College (WVC) course gives up to 10 high school credits. These college courses are free for Leigh students.
All costs are covered, including the enrollment fees, books, and classroom materials.
The courses West Valley College is offering through the Dual Enrollment Program are taught only to students in the Campbell Union High School District. Students can enroll in classes not offered at their home campus but need to ensure they can arrange travel to that campus and arrive on time. This program is open to students that will be sophomores, juniors, and seniors (grades 10, 11, and 12).
Students are on the WVC calendar. Holidays may differ between WVC and CUHSD. Students are expected to attend class in accordance with the WVC calendar. Course textbooks will be provided during the first week of class at no cost to the student. Students are required to return those textbooks at the end of the term.
