Dual enrollment, college by college
The state writes the rule and the college runs the program, so two colleges an hour apart in the same state can ask for different test scores, open registration on different days, and send credit to different universities. These pages cover one campus each: who qualifies there, what a family pays there, and where that college's credit lands.
Start with your state page if you want the floor every college in the state works from. Come here when you know which college your teen would enroll at.

What is on each page
Each page covers the program's name at that college, who the college admits, what the family pays, the deadlines and the application steps in order, and a transfer section written against that college's own articulation pages. Each one ends with the college and state sources the facts came from, so you can check any line against its source.
Sources were last read in September 2026. Colleges change deadlines and test score cutoffs between catalog years, so confirm a date with the dual enrollment office before you plan around it.
My teen's college is not here
We add colleges as families ask for them, so tell us which one you need and it moves up the list. In the meantime the state page covers the rules that college has to work inside, and the college's own dual enrollment office is the fastest way to get the rest.
