Here is an amended version of Ms. Estrada's email. I have included on the parts that are relevant to us (rising 12th graders). Please email alestrada@uplifteducation.org if you have any questions.
General Info
All current 11th grade (rising 12th) scholars will be able to take ECON 2301 - Principles of Macroeconomics.
Econ is a course required for graduation, so if you do not take it over the summer through dual credit, you will need to take it (either AP or on-level microeconomics or macroeconomics) during the school year. Many scholars opt to take them over the summer to open up room in their schedule for a semester Study Hall course.
Courses will be taken through North Lake College but will be offered online and asynchronously (scholars work independently with ongoing assignments and deadlines set by the professor). You will still be able to get a North Lake ID and will have access to resources on campus if you are interested in using them.
You can register to take your course during either summer session. Each course will run 5 weeks. Your class won't have a specific meeting day or time so it shouldn't matter that Session 1 overlaps with our last week of school: Summer Session 1: June 3rd - July 3rd; Summer Session 2: July 6th - August 7th

Steps to Sign Up
Everyone that is interested in taking a course, must complete the following Dual Credit Registration google form: https://forms.gle/kS2ovW2mzF1iLSzB6. Make sure you submit the Dual Credit Registration Google Form no later than Tuesday, March 9th. Also, make sure you use your Uplift email ID on the Google Form. Several people have noted that the Forms does not provide access or that you may need additional permissions if you do not log in with your Uplift account.
If you are NEW to dual credit, you will need to start by submitting the admissions application.
https://www.dcccd.edu/high-school-students/pages/application.aspx
Use the attached document (below) to walk you through each step of the application.
Pay close attention to the residency questions, it is easy to enter the wrong answer and that can delay the processing of your application.
When you submit the application, you will automatically be given a DCCCD ID Number, make sure to write it down, you will need it to register.
If you do not receive a DCCCD ID Number or there are any issues with your application, write down your Application Number and send an email with details to Ms. Estrada alestrada@uplifteducation.org.
If you HAVE taken a dual credit course in the past, you already have a DCCCD ID, and you do not need to complete the application again.
You will just need to enter your DCCCD ID in the Google Form.
If you don't know it, you can look it up through Econnect (https://econnect.dcccd.edu/index.jsp) or it will be on a copy of your DCCCD transcript.
