91ÉçÇø¸£Àû

Definition:
Dual enrollment is taking courses at the collegiate level while still in high school and receiving college and high school credit simultaneously. All dual enrollment students are enrolled as non-degree seeking students at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû. Some dual enrollment students take regular classes at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû (either online or on campus) and some take special courses taught at your high school.

Eligibility:
Students must be academically eligible for dual enrollment (see specific school information below), must obtain permission from their high school and complete the registration packet with your high school counselor. Once the class is completed, you will need to submit your final grade to your high school guidance counselor.

Cost:
For most public school students, there is no cost to families to participate in dual enrollment! This is a outstanding opportunity to considerably save on the cost of college. To confirm the cost for your high school, look for details below under each jurisdiction.

What are the advantages?
Earning college credit in high school? What’s not to love! Because dual enrollment classes are offered for free or at a substantial discount to regular tuition, you’ll save money. Most college credits earned at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû transfer cleanly to any two or four-year college or university, saving you considerable time to graduation, no matter where you decide to go to college. As a bonus, taking dual enrollment courses from a University when you are in high school looks great as you apply to college!

What are the disadvantages?
As with any course, performance matters, especially if you are using the dual enrollment course for graduation requirements. Courses at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû are rigorous and fast-paced, so they may be more challenging than a similar course taught at your high school.

The choice of courses is completely up to you (and your guidance counselor)! But, since you will be headed to college soon, we have suggestions! All universities have common course requirements that every student must take. At a minimum, most require students to complete courses in English composition, mathematics, lab science and two semesters of a foreign language. The dual enrollment courses approved by your school district are optimized to help students accomplish these requirements early. Know what you want to study in college? We have created some pathways that will help you get there!

If no suitable courses are available right now, keep checking back as new seats and sections could open up. Also, let your guidance counselor know so that any changes in course availability can be communicated quickly.
