Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Dual Enrollment
The dual enrollment program gives the student the opportunity to get a head start on
college credit while still in high school.
It allows the student to earn college credit toward a postsecondary diploma, certificate,
or degree at a Virginia public institution that will also count as credit toward a high
school diploma.
What Are The Advantages
High school and college credit is earned at the same time. Completing dual enrollment
courses while in high school can shorten the time required to earn a college degree.
Dual enrollment courses with an earned grade of “C” or higher will transfer to most
4-year colleges/universities.
Students take the courses at their own high school, thereby saving time and money.
Am I Eligible
Students who meet course prerequisites and are approved by their high school guidance
counselor are eligible.
What Classes Are Offered

and math. The technical centers offer a greater variety of classes. Please check with
