DUAL ENROLLMENT/DUAL CREDIT
(Application must be received three weeks prior to start of class.)
ELIGIBLE STUDENTS: 11th or 12th Grade Status (10th Grade Students – are eligible is an exception is granted by the
participating post-secondary institution upon the recommendation of the student’s Principal and Superintendent and in accordance with
Alabama Administrative Code 290-8-9-.17 regarding gifted and talented students.)
The student must have a 3.0 GPA to apply for Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit. A student who has an overall 2.5 GPA may enroll in career
technical programs. The college may use its discretion and enroll students who have a GPA less than 2.5, but no lower than 2.0, after a
thorough review of each student’s high school transcript has been conducted. Courses approved for this policy must either be those that
are not offered on the school campus or those that would be appropriate substitutions for courses offered on the high school campus. Six
semester hours must be used to substitute one Carnegie unit in high school. Under this policy, a student would receive credit at both the
college and high school.
Post-secondary/college level remedial courses shall not meet the requirements of this program. Courses eligible for dual enrollment/dual
credit shall be established and published annually as courses are identified by the school system committee as outlined in SACS
(Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) standards. No partial credit shall be accepted for any core course. Transportation related
to dual enrollment/dual credit course participation is the responsibility of the parent. Students may enroll in approved courses during
school hours, after school hours, and during summer terms. When participation necessitates off campus attendance during school hours,
it is the responsibility of the student to follow established check in/check out procedures at the local school. Students are responsible for
knowing policies relative to dual enrollment/dual credit of colleges/universities to which they plan to transfer credit. For graduating
seniors, it is the responsibility of the parent/student to ensure that the official report of grades earned under the dual credit program are
received at the student’s high school 48 hours prior to closing of the last regular academic day for seniors. Students participating in the
dual enrollment/dual credit program shall pay tuition and other required costs as established by the post secondary institution.
I would like to take the following courses for high school credit as well as college credit:

register for the course and to provide transportation and funding. It is the student’s/parent's responsibility to see that grades are reported
to the high school.
