Take actual college courses while in high school
Unlike AP classes, DE classes are actual college classes where a student earns college credit upon successful completion of the course. If a student is going to a Florida college or university, DE classes are a good option as the college credits are automatically accepted on their transcript. In fact, with early planning, students can earn their associates degree while in high school and save approximately $42,000 in Florida college tuition.
HIERARCHY OF RIGOR:
Dual Enrollment (DE) = AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) = IB (International Baccalaureate) = AP (Advanced Placement)
ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE EQUAL!
*DE classes require a grade of C or better for college credit, but DO NOT require a certain score on an exam to receive college credit.
Pathway to Associates degree
Satisfy the 10 high school credit requirement
Take SAT/ACT or PERT to determine eligibility. Additionally, to accelerate without taking a course, you may CLEP a course to get college and high school credit. See CLEP for available tests.
Meet minimum qualifying scores & GPA. Here’s placement test results chart.
Make appointment with guidance counselor to obtain DE approval form
Register as a student with the articulating school (UF, SCF, USF), based on GPA eligibility.
Register for appropriate level online courses based on test scores.
Obtain appropriate dual enrollment textbook form from Lynn Halcomb and follow directions for submission.
At course completion be sure to follow course textbook return procedures.
