Important Information
All D.E. students must follow the adult student class schedule (i.e. no early release on Wednesdays ).
Students must be seniors to participate in D.E. (must be on track to graduate and in their final year of school).
Some programs are full time. Therefore, DE students may have to spend their entire day on the TECO campus.
Most Programs will NOT be completed within one school year and will require class attendance beyond the
traditional last day of high school for seniors.
Students interested in signing up for Dual Enrollment at TECO must apply through their High School Counselor at
the current school of attendance. The High School Counselor will coordinate with the TECO Counselor for
approval and acceptances.
All D.E. acceptances will be based on available seating as determined by TECO administration.
The minimum TABE entrance Score is a 6.0 grade equivalency.
All D.E. students must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in their D.E. program.
Students interested in the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) program will need to take the TABE A level and receive a
12.0 or higher in reading, language and math. Once these scores are received, the student will then be eligible to
take the HESI (Health Education System Inc.) exam. The HESI exam fee is $55.
Passing scores on the HESI are as follows:
Math
75%
Biology
50%
Reading Comprehension
80%
Vocabulary
80%
Grammar
80%
**All passing scores on the HESI must be obtained at one testing. Students are responsible for the $55 exam fee.
*** TECO requests that LPN students be 18 years old and older (Students must be 18 prior to clinical placement).
Students interested in Cosmetology, Medical Assisting, Pharmacy Technician, LPN, Medical Lab Assisting, and
Medical Coder/Biller are required to pay a $19 Liability Insurance fee. Most of these programs also require
students to complete a drug screening test and federal law enforcement background check.
Students entering programs requiring uniforms will be responsible for the purchasing these uniforms.
Each program has a designated color.
The Health Sciences program students wear scrubs.
