Asynchronous Dual-Enrollment Course

• Courses are not live, students complete course work during the school day under the supervision of a CSArts-SGV teacher. 

• The student spends one semester learning college material to aid in their understanding of the content matter and to prepare the student for the next level of college instruction. The student spends the other semester enrolled in the dual-enrollment course taught by a Citrus College professor. A CSArts-SGV teacher will be supporting the class during the school day.

• Courses will only be with CSArts-SGV students

• Students DO NOT pay any fees or materials costs

• Students receive both high school credit and college credit upon successful completion of the course

• These offerings are in the extreme minority compared to the number of synchronous courses in our Early College Program

In addition, CSArts-SGV offers a selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

Students enrolled in an Early College Program course, who would like to drop after the semester has started, need to complete that process through Wingspan (Citrus' equivalent to Aeries). Please Click Here to view the webpage to drop a dual-enrollment course. CSArts-SGV Administrators, Directors, and School Counselors are not able to drop the course for the student. Failure to drop a course through Wingspan will result in the course and resulting grade showing up on the student's Citrus College transcript. Students can also request an Excused Withdrawal (EW) up to 30 days after the end of Citrus' term. However, these requests are for extenuating circumstances and require documentation.
