VCCSlogo"Virginia, along with six other states, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington, has been chosen by the College in High School Alliance (CHSA) to develop and implement policy plans that will further their role as national leaders in dual enrollment.

Dual enrollment, which allows high school students to take college courses and earn college credit while still in high school, is on the rise in Virginia and around the nation. For its part, Virginia will be focusing on improving access to dual enrollment. “We want to do it well and we want all students to have access to it,” said Dr. Micol Hutchison, Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor for Policy and Instructional Support Services at the Virginia Community College System (VCCS).

Some of the primary challenges facing dual enrollment are transportation, public awareness of its benefits, and a lack of qualified faculty to deliver the programs," reports The Virginian Review.
