Compliance and Compassion

Dual enrollment can help increase college access, completion, and transfer rates, particularly for students from communities that have been historically underrepresented in college. Many community colleges in California are expanding equitable dual enrollment opportunities, and their Admissions and Records departments (A&R) play an essential role in providing an open door to college for dual enrollment students. To understand how dual enrollment coordinators and A&R can work together to support an equitable enrollment process for students, Career Ladders Project convened a small group of California community college A&R leaders in spring 2023. This brief summarizes the perspectives and experiences they shared.
