High School Students
Gavilan College is dedicated to helping our high school students throughout our district earn college credit early. In partnership with our local high schools, we offer an option of pathways for Dual Enrollment to achieve college and career readiness while still in high school.
Dual Enrollment gives high school students whose age or class level is equal to grades 9 - 12 the chance to earn college credits early. Classes area available on the Gavilan main campus, Hollister or Online.
