Dual Enrollment Steps to Enroll
As a Dual Enrollment student, you will follow the steps below to complete your registration to Mesa Community College. During the process, you’ll set up a student account, apply for admission, and complete the enrollment steps in one seamless application.
- Have all test scores, high school transcripts, and ID authentication documents ready for use.
- Plan to complete any required placement exams prior to starting the DE Steps to Enroll for quicker processing.
Step 1 – New Students must get admitted to MCC
- First you will complete the High School Student Admissions Application HERE
- You will be required to submit ID Authentication as part of this process. ID Authentication must be on file before you can enroll.
- Upon completion of Step 1, you will have successfully applied for admissions, have an MCC ID number, an MEID, and password.
- *Returning Students will need their MEID/Password to begin the registration process and will not need to re-apply for admission.
- If you forgot your MEID/Password, please visit the Self Service Password Reset page. Once confirmed, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 – View Available Classes; Determine Placement & Course Requirements
- Click on your high school and then select "see available classes."
- Identify the course in which you plan to enroll and ensure you meet the admissions requirements listed for the course. Take note of the following: MCCCD Course Number, MCCCD Course Title, Credits, and 5 digit class number, & Instructor Name. You will need this information to proceed with Step 3.
- If you do not meet the course prerequisite (admission requirements), you may need to complete an EdReady Placement Exam online.
- All students under the age of 18 will be required to demonstrate college readiness for the purpose of admissions. This can be accomplished by self-reporting an unweighted, High School GPA of 2.0 or greater. Students unable to self-report a high school GPA of 2.0, will take the EdReady Reading assessment with a recommended score of 75 or higher. This policy will not impact placement requirements for individual course(s).
- If a placement test is required, test scores will be uploaded 24-48 hours after completion of your test.
- Before you proceed to Step 3, you will need to identify the course (s) you wish to enroll in. Follow the steps below to search for your available courses by high school.
