Guidelines/Overview

• The PBL framework mandates students to take three of their four core classes at ARS. 

• Dual Enrollment courses are offered by the partner institution, and do not meet on the ARS campus. 

• Students should understand that dual enrollment courses are college courses, and the amount of work necessary to succeed may be much greater than in high school courses. 

• In addition, these become a part of a student’s permanent college transcript and are calculated into the student’s permanent postsecondary GPA. It is important to do well in these courses to realize all the benefits.
