College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Program Information:
With our CCAP program, high school students can be awarded both college credit and high school credit for a single course. Through California legislation (AB288; AB30), CCAP courses are at no cost to the student – including waived enrollment fees and instructional materials such as textbooks. Through our partnerships with local school districts, we aim to provide seamless pathways for high school students in Career Technical Education, preparing for transfer, and college and career readiness.
