ElevateEdAZ hosts the Arizona Dual Enrollment Coalition to bring together educators, community colleges, school districts, workforce leaders, policymakers, and nonprofit partners as part of efforts to strengthen dual enrollment across Arizona. 

Together, we are expanding equitable access to high-quality, transferable college coursework that prepares more students for post-secondary success and Arizona’s workforce.

Every Arizona student deserves access to high-quality dual enrollment opportunities.

We envision a statewide system where students (regardless of zip code) can earn meaningful college credit in high school through strong partnerships between secondary and postsecondary education.

No single organization can expand dual enrollment alone.

Increasing student access to dual enrollment requires coordination across K–12 schools, colleges, state agencies, employers, and community organizations. The Arizona Dual Enrollment Coalition exists to bring these partners together to solve challenges, share successful practices, and accelerate progress statewide. 

This collaborative forum advances policies, partnerships, and practices that improve access to high-quality dual enrollment opportunities for all students.

• Learn from innovative school districts and community college partners.
• Explore statewide dual enrollment data and emerging trends.
• Share implementation strategies.
• Collaborate on solutions to common challenges.
• Influence statewide conversations around policy and practice.
• Build relationships with educators, college leaders, nonprofit organizations, business partners, and state agencies.

The Coalition currently focuses on advancing best practices in:

• Student access and equity
