…MOMENTUM
6 credits are good,
9 is better, and
12 is a GUARANTEE of momentum
Those who complete 20 or
more credits are 28% more likely
to persist through college
“Among freshmen who continue to the second year
of college, dual credit participants earn a higher first
year GPA.”
“Dual enrollment students were 12% more likely to
enter college within seven months of high school
graduation than non-participating students.”
“Dual credit students who go on to college continue to
the second year at a higher rate than freshmen who
enter college without having earned dual credit.”
SUCCESS and FAILURE

All students in reaching their full potential by providing increased early college opportunities.”
