Linden High School – Union Community College – Dual Enrollment Program

We are proud to partner with Union County College in offering a Dual Enrollment Program. This partnership makes it possible for your child to enroll in selected courses while in high school, allowing them to earn both high school and community college credit at no cost to you.

The teachers for dual enrollment courses are Union County College instructors. The curriculum taught in these classes is consistent with the written curriculum specified by the community college. Classes for these courses will take place virtually after the high school day has ended.

Students will take English 101, at no cost to the parent. Classes start on January 24 and end in May. Students will take virtual classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3pm to 3:55pm Some students will require an additional session on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4pm to 4:55pm for Reading or Writing.

Students must have passing grades in their current classes to be eligible. 

The deadline to apply is today, Monday, January 10, 2022, and space is limited to 40 students.
