DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM INFORMATION AND ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1.
What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school and middle school students currently attending Miami-Dade County public schools (M-DCPS),
accredited private schools, or home school to simultaneously enroll in college courses. The credits that students earn must be used toward both high school
graduation and toward a college level degree (such as Associate or Baccalaureate), or college level certificate. (See mdc.edu/dualenrollment)

Students in grades 6-12 who meet high school GPA and placement test requirements may participate in Dual Enrollment.

and a minimum 2.0 unweighted GPA is required for career and technical certificate dual enrollment.
b.
Earned college ready scores in reading and writing on a state-approved placement test such as SAT/ACT, CPT, or PERT for college credit courses.
c.

c.
Home school students are also exempt from any fees if taking courses that count toward high school graduation.

If a student withdraws from the school district/private school after registering for dual enrollment and does not withdraw from the dual enrollment
classes prior to the drop/add date, the student will be held liable for the tuition cost for the courses.
4.
Who pays for the textbooks?
a.
M-DCPS students will receive their books at no cost. Students are issued a Dual Enrollment book voucher by their school advisor. Charter Schools will
provide textbooks for their students participating in Dual Enrollment.
b.
Private school students must pay for their own books and other instructional materials.
c.
Home school students receive their books at no cost. Students are issued a dual enrollment book voucher from the College.
5.
Are all college courses available through Dual Enrollment?
No, there are some restrictions on the choice of course(s), such as the following:
a.
In addition to the State’s Dual Enrollment Course High School Subject Area Equivalency List which identifies the MDC courses taken through dual
enrollment that satisfy high school subject area graduation requirements, any college credit course comprised of three (3) credits or more can be
considered for Dual Enrollment, subject to approval by the student’s school and MDC academic unit.
b.
Students must meet all course prerequisite and placement testing requirements for a course to be considered for dualenrollment.
c.
Enrollment in fully online college credit courses is permissible for dual enrollment students during the summer term only, beginning in summer 2017.

e.

f.

for Dual Enrollment.
6.
How many courses are students allowed to take per semester?

County Public School recommends that public school students enroll in a maximum of two (2) courses each term (excluding Labs).
b.
The amount of work necessary to succeed in Dual Enrollment courses will be more than in high school courses. Students and school Guidance

7.
When and where may Dual Enrollment courses be taken?
These courses may be taken before, during or after school hours and during the summer. They may be offered at the school, college, or other approved locations.

b.
Upon high school graduation, if students do not attend the same college or university where they earned the Dual Enrollment credit, the application of
transfer credit may vary at the receiving institution. Dual Enrollment courses become a part of a student’s permanent college academic transcript.
11.
What happens if I withdraw from a class?
Students who officially withdraw within the established deadline will have a “W” (withdrawal grade) posted on the college transcript, which may affect high school
graduation. Students who withdraw from a course cannot repeat the same course as a Dual Enrollment student, but can enroll in other courses, if eligible.
