What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment is an enriching
program where high school students
take college courses and earn college
credit in their own high school.
Benefits of Dual Enrollment:
Students earn college and high
school credits simultaneously.
Credits earned through dual enrollment are
both high school and college credits. College
credits transfer to ALL Virginia Community
Colleges, and most four-year colleges and
universities.
Dual enrollment is convenient and
cost-effective.
Dual enrollment classes are taught during
the school day at the high school, making
college-level academics accessible to all high
school students. Dual enrollment credits cost
far less than credits earned at four-year colleges and universities, and are earned before
students graduate from high school.
Students are exposed to college-level
academics.
Dual Enrollment courses hold the same rigor
as any college level course. Dual enrollment
instructors are high school teachers with the
credentials to teach college-level courses.
Many dual enrollment classes are weighted,
which can help students boost their high
school GPA.
Steps and Responsibilities
for Students
Steps and Responsibilities
for Parents
Students interested in Dual
Enrollment should follow these steps:
Parents of Dual Enrollment students
have these responsibilities:
1. Discuss Dual Enrollment with your high school
counselor as you are considering courses for
your junior and senior academic year. You must
obtain permission from your high school to
enroll in dual enrollment classes.
1. Follow up with your student to be sure she/
he completes and submits GCC’s Application
for Admission and Registration forms.
2. Complete GCC’s Application for Admission
by the deadline. Apply online: http://www.
germanna.edu/admissions/
Note: Your high school counselor also has paper
applications. Students who have previously taken dual
enrollment courses do not need to reapply to GCC each
semester.
3. Once you complete your application, you will
receive a GCC Student ID number. You must
have this number in order to complete the next
step, taking the placement test.
4. Sign up to take the Compass college placement
test. Ask your HS Counselor for testing dates
and times. It is strongly recommended that you
take practice tests in preparation for this test.
Students may submit qualifying SAT or ACT
scores to be exempted from the Compass test.
5. Once you complete the placement test, you
can register for classes at your high school.
Your high school counselor or DE Liaison can
provide you with the registration form and
registration deadline dates.
6. Submit tuition payment (tuition rates and
deadlines vary by school system). All tuition is
paid directly to the high school.
7. Remember that you are developing a
permanent college academic record. It is
your responsibility to complete all course
requirements and to be aware of all important
deadlines, which will be in your course outline.
Note: If your student is under age 18, parents answer
the questions on Part 6 of the student’s online
Application for Admission, pertaining to Domicile.
For the online application, print and sign the last
page, and submit to your student’s counselor. If
completing paper applications, sign the Certification
Section on page 3 of the Application for Admission,
and submit to the counselor.
2. Check your student’s high school’s “Program
of Study,” and set up a meeting with your
student’s counselor to find out about specific
course offerings at your high school.
3. Submit payment (tuition rates and deadlines
vary by school system) directly to your
student’s school.
4. Remind your student that, in addition to
earning college credit, they are developing
a permanent college academic record
(transcript). All college level classes should be
taken seriously.
