What is the University of Lynchburg and CVCC Dual-enrollment Program?

The University of Lynchburg has a dual-enrollment application specifically for students planning to enroll at CVCC in either the Associate of Arts and Sciences (AA&S) or the Associate of Science (AS) degree program. This program allows qualified high school students who have completed or are in the process of completing their high school diploma or GED and have not completed courses for college credit since graduation to take one course each semester at the University of Lynchburg. Summer sessions are not included in this program.

Eligibility to Apply

Students are eligible to apply if they:

• Have completed or are in the process of completing a high school diploma or GED.
• Plan to enroll at CVCC in either the Associate of Arts and Sciences or the Associate of Science degree program.

Application Process

The application process involves two main steps:

• Step 1: Students must apply using the University of Lynchburg Application.

Next Steps After Applying

Once a completed application and all materials are received, the University will review the file and contact the applicant with an admission decision or if any additional items are needed.
