Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment
Selecting dual enrollment will allow students to travel to
area colleges/technical schools and take courses that will count towards
post-secondary goals. Students may
select to attend a variety of programs at area colleges and technical schools
to get a jumpstart on their post-secondary education. Students are responsible
for providing their own transportation and fees associated with the
course. Students must be a junior or
senior. Students may enroll in up to 2
college courses per semester.
Participating
Colleges: Harrisburg Area Community College, Elizabethtown College,
Lancaster Bible College, Millersville University, Thaddeus Stevens College
(senior full day program), PA College of Health Sciences
Cost: The
student, parent or guardian must pay course costs directly to the college.
Course Options: Students
typically select general education courses at the college. Participating colleges provide an approved
course list for high school students that varies from semester to semester.
Application Procedures: Each post-secondary school has their own
application process. Students are
required to fill out all college application materials and submit their high
school transcript. Some schools require
a qualifying PSAT or SAT and additional placement testing.
Credits: Students
earn 3 or 4 college credits per course and 1 high school credit per
course. Students should check with their
prospective post-secondary colleges to see if they will accept the credits
obtained in dual enrollment.
Graduation Requirements: Most dual enrollment courses are
considered elective credits.
Grading: The course grade earned at the
post-secondary partner school will be duplicated and awarded upon successful
completion of the course. The letter
grade provided on the college transcript from the partner college/university is
what is reported on the high school transcript.
