High School Administrators and Faculty

Pima Community College (PCC) partners with local high schools to allow students to earn college and high school credits simultaneously through Dual Enrollment (DE) courses.

For High School Administrators

Agreements: Schools must establish an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with PCC. This process involves approval from both the school district board and the PCC Board of Governors, typically taking 1–3 months.
Dual Enrollment Program Manager: Each high school will be assigned a Program Manager to assist with the coordination and implementation of the program.
Course Requests: To offer DE courses, schools must submit requests by specific deadlines: October for Fall/Full-Year courses and March for Spring courses of the previous year.
Instructional Materials: High schools are responsible for providing all necessary textbooks and instructional materials for their students.

For Faculty & Instructors

Certification Requirements: Instructors must be certified by PCC before teaching. Qualifications vary by discipline/course.
Certification Process: Contact the PCC Dual Enrollment Department to begin the pre-screening process.
