This guide assists and informs secondary and postsecondary partners who are considering launching or expanding dual enrollment programs for underrepresented minority (URM) populations. It introduces key defining components, characteristics, practices, and policies associated with dual enrollment programs that actively recruit and are designed and committed to help traditionally underrepresented students transition successfully from high school to college. It also provides a high-level overview of the opportunities and challenges secondary and postsecondary partners might face as they design and implement these programs. Additionally, it shares indicators and data sources that partnering school districts and colleges can use to monitor progress at the student, program, and institutional levels.
