Dual Enrollment
Cuesta College has partnered with San Luis Coastal, under a formal agreement, to schedule Cuesta courses on high school campuses during the regular school day. Classes are closed to the public and only available to students who attend the high school. These courses are taught either by a SLOHS instructor or as a collaboration between an SLOHS instructor and a Cuesta professor.
The enrollment and registration process for dual enrolled courses is administered by Cuesta staff in coordination with the high school instructor and other designated support staff. SLOHS dual enrolled courses are primarily available through SLOHS Career Technical Ed (CTE) Pathway course offerings.
