The Dual Enrollment Application

The Dual Enrollment Application

Welcome to the New SSS 2.0 Dual Enrollment Application product page. This page is a work in-progress.

 

 

Why A Dual Enrollment Application?

Because you told us to!

  • Requests from many colleges & districts since 2021

  • Response to Vision 2030 goals

    • Find new pathways for future learners

    • Continue doing what works - Fix what doesn’t work - Create what’s missing

Our system needs a streamlined path for future learners

  • Dual Enrollment students get lost in the current standard application

  • Select the wrong option from a long list

  • Guess at answers to questions that don’t apply to them

  • Why am I being asked this question?

Our students want a better application experience

  • Guide them to the right options so that they don’t miss an opportunity for a head start on their educational and career goals

  • Give them confidence that they CAN succeed at college (even before they start classes)

  • Encourage them to continue at their CCC college after high-school graduation

Our students don’t have the time to learn how to navigate needlessly complicated systems that shut them out even before they get started” ~Chancellor Christian, July 2023.”

 

Application Goal

Provide an innovative, student-centric approach to onboarding while…

  • Future-proof the system with modular architecture

  • Streamline the user experience

  • Address friction points

  • Reduce unintended impacts on underrepresented students

The New Dual Enrollment Application Does All This!

Student Centered and Student Reviewed

  • No more “one size fits all” application

  • Tailored applications only ask questions relevant to the student

  • Remove redundant questions

  • Accessibility built-in and reviewed by experts

  • More languages!
