  • Applications are reviewed in the order received. We may receive more applications than the number of seats available.
  • Preference is given to students not currently in one of our early college programs (Early College Academy, Gateway, Pathways)

Application Process

  • Returning students who have already taken a dual enrollment class with us in the past year do not need to reapply. They should email me directly with the class they want to be considered for.
  • New students should complete our online application. They will click on the yellow “online application” link and then create an account. Once their account is created, they will select the Dual Enrollment Special Programs application. There is a question on the application about which class they want to take. Guidance counselors can email transcripts to earlycollege@mwcc.mass.edu.
