I am pleased to announce that the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Program (CDEP) has been approved for the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters. Therefore, I am writing to inform you that Roxbury Community College is accepting applications for the Dual Enrollment Program. As you know, this is a great opportunity for your students to earn college credits, while simultaneously earning credits towards their high school diploma. This program also offers students the opportunity to develop their academic experience and career opportunities. RCC wants to ensure that your students have an opportunity to take advantage the Dual Enrollment Program during this academic year and we hope that the information below will be useful in making the transition into the CDEP as easy as possible.
STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
