What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment (DE) allows high school students to take college courses and earn credit for both high school and college at the same time. It’s a smart way to get ahead academically, explore college-level learning, and even save on future tuition costs. Whether you're aiming for a degree, a certificate, or just want to challenge yourself, dual enrollment opens the door to new opportunities — all while you're still in high school.
Summer Scholars 2025
Mendocino College proudly offers a Summer Scholars program designed specifically for incoming 9th-12th grade high school students who want to take advantage of dual enrollment during the summer break. Courses are currently available at the Coast Center, Lake Center, and North County Center, making it accessible for students across the region. The program is a great way to jump-start your college experience in a supportive, engaging environment.
Meet Your Student Ambassador
Below, you'll find your Ambassador, listed by high school. Ambassadors are high school students who have successfully navigated the Dual Enrollment (DE) world at Mendocino College, and are now participating in a peer-education program to help you do the same. Your Ambassadors are a great way to answer DE questions, get in-person, on-site help, and explore all that Dual Enrollment has to offer.
For questions about the Ambassador program, feel free to reach out to our Ambassador Program Coordinator, Marcello Bice, at mbice@mendocino.edu.

Willits Charter High School
Hello, my name is Julian but you can refer to me as Juju. I am currently a Junior at the Willits Charter School and I’m known for my versatile ability, such as theater arts, music, poetry, and several other crafts regarding the arts. As an ambassador, my job is to help inform dual enrollment participants about navigating and/or understanding how it works. My favorite part about it is working with people and actively getting to answer any questions to the best of my ability in hopes of making people’s lives easier.
