Dual enrollment is an acceleration mechanism that allows students to pursue an advanced curriculum relevant to their individual post secondary interests. Florida’s dual enrollment program allows high school students to simultaneously earn credit towards high school completion and a career certificate or associate or baccalaureate degree at a Florida public higher education institution. Students must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Be enrolled as a student in a Florida public or nonpublic secondary school (grades 6-12), or in a home education program;
- Have a 3.0 unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) to enroll in college credit courses, or a 2.0 high school unweighted GPA to enroll in career dual enrollment courses;
- For college credit courses, achieve a minimum score on a common placement test pursuant to Rule 6A-14.064, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.);
- Meet any additional eligibility criteria specified by the postsecondary institution in the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement; and
- Cannot be scheduled to graduate prior to the completion of the dual enrollment course.
