Dual Enrollment
West LA College provides two programs that give students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school tuition free, dual enrollment and concurrent enrollment. Our goal is to ensure a smoother transition from high school to college for all students by providing them with greater exposure to higher education.

The Concurrent Enrollment Program allows high school students to enroll in college classes offered by West on campus. To learn more about concurrent enrollment and the application process check out Concurrent Enrollment.
