DE Course Information
What is Dual Enrollment?
When you take a DE class, you are:
Enrolled in two institutions: Woodgrove High School and a college (NVCC, Shenandoah, GMU, JMU),
AND earning credits at both institutions.
The class is taught at WHS by a WHS teacher.
Registration process will vary based on the college's policies.
All DE classes are free! Free college credit!

Necessary steps (use the DE Student Checklist & Registration Packet below to assist with steps):

Register for your DE courses through your online account and make sure you get parent/guardian permission in order for it to be approved by your school counselor.
Meet the qualifying placement scores and/or requisites for enrollment. If you have any questions speak with your school counselor.
