Our college partner

## A full-service partnership with _College of the Canyons._

Method has built a deep, full-service dual enrollment partnership with College of the Canyons (COC), a top California community college. COC offers Method students online sections reserved exclusively for dual enrollment, plus dedicated counseling and a streamlined registration process built around the Method calendar.

Students are **not required** to take their college courses through COC. Many of our students earn dual credit through other California community colleges or four-year institutions they're already connected to. COC is simply the easiest path because we've done the integration work for you.

### A quick note on our name

On the College of the Canyons website, you'll currently see us listed as **"The Academy at Method Schools."** We're rebranding to **Method Dual Enrollment** — and with the launch of this site, that name becomes official. Same program, same partnership, new name.

What the COC partnership includes

- Online courses reserved for Method dual enrollment students only  
- Dedicated COC counseling and registration support  
- Course schedules aligned to Method's academic calendar  
- Direct credit articulation with UC and CSU systems
