How do you become a “dual enrolled” student?

• Stop by the guidance office to register.
• Registration will occur the semester prior to classes starting. 

CCBC requires students to complete a placement exam, unless they have taken the SAT with a score of at least in 450 on each section or ACT with a score of at least 19 reading, 18 English, and 22 Math. The placement exam is free and only takes 1/2 -1 hour to complete.

Depending on the course, Penn State Beaver also may require a placement test.
