FAQ

Dual enrollment is a program that offers high school students the opportunity to earn college credits while they are still in high school by taking coursework through a postsecondary institution. Students attend both high school (or home school) and a post-secondary institution. High school students can earn college credit for courses they take on a college campus, at their high school, or online.

For admission into an Early College Program, students must be high school juniors or seniors whose GPA is at least 3.0. In addition, students must have their high school counselor’s approval and consent from a parent or guardian.
