Dual Enrollment
GETTING ON THE FAST TRACK

WHAT IS DUAL ENROLLMENT? AM I ELIGIBLE FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT?

The dual enrollment program allows high school students to earn college credit for select courses in their high schools. The program was developed to allow students to begin working on their college degree earlier in their academic careers and thus complete their degree in a shorter period of time.

Dual enrollment is authorized by Florida Statute 1007.271

Graduates
If you are in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, meet college placement test standards, and your high school eligibility standards, and have written permission from your principal or guidance counselor, you may participate in dual enrollment classes.
