What is Dual Enrollment?!?

Dual Enrollment is for Juniors and Seniors who are interested in taking college courses to have them count for both high school credit as well as college credit**

We currently offer dual enrollment courses from Austin Peay State University (APSU).

APSU

In order to be eligible for admission to apply for dual enrollment you must do the following:

• Complete your sophomore year of high school.

• Maintain a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale

• Submit a minimum ACT sub-score of 19 in English and math (SAT 460 on Critical Reading and math).

• Official scores only please (enter APSU school code when you take the ACT); student reports cannot be accepted.

• Be recommended by your high school principal or school counselor.

• Have your parent's permission to enter the program.

Tips for students when considering dual enrollment status:

1.) Do not procrastinate.  Get all materials in on time and before the end of the school year if you plan on dual enrollment in the fall.

2.) Pay attention to email and make sure that the email address you provide is accurate and one that you check regularly.

Dual Enrollment Requirements:

- Juniors or Seniors in high school

- Must maintain a 2.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale (a minimum average of 83) in subject area only.

- Permission from the parent and/or guardian as well as the school principal must be obtained.

**Make sure that the dual courses are going to count at the college/university of your choice as it depends and may not count everywhere.**

Advanced Placement [AP] Courses

Individual schools determine enrollment in AP courses. Students entering the AP program must be highly motivated, committed to the course, and understand the higher level of expectations.

The following information is excerpted from the College Board’s overview of its AP Program.

“AP® is a rigorous academic program that provides willing and academically prepared high school students with the opportunity to study and learn at the college level. AP teachers help students develop and apply the skills, abilities, and content knowledge they will need later in college. Each AP course is modeled upon a comparable college course, and college and university faculty play a vital role in ensuring that AP® courses align with college-level standards.”

AP courses culminate with college-level assessments developed and scored by college and university faculty members as well as experienced AP teachers. AP Exams are a required part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college-level course work. Individual colleges determine if course credit is granted for the AP exam score. Each student with a passing average at the end of each nine weeks will be awarded a five-percentage point increase for the quarter for that AP course when the student takes the required culminating exam per state policy.

As an incentive for CMCSS students, those earning a score of 3 or above on a scale of 1 – 5 will be reimbursed the amount they paid for their test. Reimbursements should be received no later than November 1 of the following school year. NOTE: AP Exams are administered in May according to a national schedule established by the College Board. CMCSS reimburses students who earn a score of 3 or higher on any AP exam if they are in the class or if the class is not offered or available. Additional information concerning the national Advanced Placement program may be found at www.collegeboard.org.
