The CLP Dual Enrollment Scheduling Tool is a free resource to help partnerships create schedules for college courses during the high school day that meet college contact hour requirements, while factoring in high school schedules and calendars.
This tool may be useful for community college staff who are responsible for scheduling college courses on a high school campus and for high school district staff who are responsible for verifying minimum instructional minutes for claiming Average Daily Attendance (ADA).
How it works
The tool has two parts:
Part 1. High schools can input their bell schedules to total their instructional minutes outside of their dual enrollment class times. This will help verify that they are meeting minimum requirements for apportionment purposes.
Part 2. Colleges can use the term-by-term template to factor high school non-instructional days into their calculation of required contact hours for the course. (Classes meet for less than 50 minutes on non-instructional days such as holidays, rally days, non-student days, etc.) By adjusting factors such as class meeting days, start dates, and end dates, colleges can use this tool to create a schedule for the dual enrollment class that is within the required amount of contact hours.
Get started

Notes
High school practitioners should consult with their school district for verification of instructional minutes for ADA. College practitioners should consult with the appropriate college department for verification that college courses meet their required contact hours.
For information on ADA and dual enrollment, please see the California Department of Education FAQ on Dual Enrollment.
