What is dual enrollment?  The Dual Enrollment Program enables eligible students in the 10th, 11th and 12th grades to enroll in approved courses offered through Palm Beach State College or FAU. 

Students must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA, college ready test scores, and attend a mandatory PBSC Orientation to be eligible for the program.  Seniors with a 3.2 cumulative GPA can enroll full time in the Early Admission Program.

TEST SCORE OPTIONS:

SAT/PSAT - Read 24, Math 24, Eng/Writing 25

The credits that students earn count toward both a high school diploma and a college degree. Dual enrollment courses are free; this includes registration, tuition and fees, and textbooks provided free of charge through the School District of Palm Beach County.  

Is dual enrollment right for everyone? Dual Enrollment is an opportunity to take challenging courses and accelerate educational opportunities. However, the amount of work necessary to succeed in college level courses may be much greater than in high school courses. Courses are also presented on an adult level which may require mature understanding of divergent viewpoints.  Dual enrollment courses begin the student's permanent college transcript and will impact future eligibility for financial aid and admission to other post secondary institutions or degree programs. Students need to consider future plans when deciding if dual enrollment is right for them. As a dual enrollment student, you can begin taking college classes in high school and earn a two-year college degree by the time you graduate or soon after. The courses you take count toward both your high school diploma and your college requirements. There are two options for you to pursue. In most cases, tuition and books are free.
