Members of the classes of 2026 and 2027 at MTRS also have the opportunity to register for Dual Enrollment coursework outside of the school day. Dual Enrollment courses can be taken in person or online, and funding is available. One of the requirements for scheduling a dual enrollment course is completion of the Accuplacer Placement test. The registration process at the local colleges will open later this spring, but GCC is graciously offering to administer this placement test at MTRS on Tuesday 2/25/2025 during block 1 and advisory. If your child is considering dual enrollment as an option, please encourage them to complete this very brief form.
