Courses

Dual Enrollment Credit Is Not Guaranteed!

Students MUST meet the pre-requisites for any specific course AND complete the registration process through the dual credit institution (CNM, UNM, IAIA).
All dual credit students must be registered in classes prior to the start of the term in which the classes are scheduled.
CEC instructors and the CEC counselor will assist students in enrolling in the course in the first few days of class at CEC, but it is the student's responsibility to be sure that they are registered for the dual credit course.
It is also the student's responsibility to adhere to any deadlines for dropping or adding a class through the dual credit institution.
For more information about enrolling in dual credit classes, please see the CEC Dual Credit page.
