Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment (DE) offers high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school. Participating students will receive both high school and college credit through dual enrollment. Earned credit will be placed on the Hoover High School transcript and be given a +.50 weight for GPA. Dual Enrollment courses are offered either at HHS, online, or in some situations on campus at the local college. 

Hoover City Schools Requirements 

• 10th - 12th grades only 

• Minimum of a 3.0 high school GPA for core classes: English, History, Math, Science, and General Electives

Dual enrollment begins with a student's college transcript and the grade made in the dual enrollment grade is posted to your high school transcript and counts toward your high school GPA as well as your college transcript. This is different from AP and IB coursework where the grades do not go with the student to college but credit is awarded based on a specific university's score acceptance policy based solely on how the student performs on the course specific AP/IB examination. Students that successfully complete their dual enrollment coursework are guaranteed college credit and do not rely upon an end of course assessment to be awarded college credit. 

Prior to registering for any class, you should check with the college(s) where you are applying to verify that the course is transferable and needed for your particular major. A student must see Mrs. Lallone to ensure that it is an acceptable course equivalent to what is needed for high school graduation.
