Dual Enrollment Program
Dual Credit courses allow high school students to obtain credits
for both high school and college at the same time.

Each county school district in Nevada has its own policy regarding Dual Credit courses. As GBC learns each school district's policy, it will be posted below:

  • Elko County Dual Credit Courses (PDF File*)
  • Eureka County Dual Credit Courses: The school district accepts all GBC English and Math courses for dual credit. (Contact your high school counselor before enrolling.)
  • White Pine County Dual Credit Courses (PDF File*)
  • In Lander, Nye, and Humboldt Counties, ask your high school principal or counselor about Dual Enrollment.

Pros and cons of Dual Enrollment for students, highschools and GBC are listed here.

The steps for initially applying as a Dual Credit student are listed opposite. In addition, a High School Permission form is required for each semester in which a student wants to earn dual credit.

For more information, contact your high school counselor or the the Director of Continuing Education at 775.753.2231.

Your test score determines your placement into GBC classes. In some cases you may be required to take a Reading course (READ 135) concurrently with a Social Science course.
