*Montgomery College is offering a range of courses this year and some may be in-person while others remain virtual. Please keep in mind when registering, courses are listed as either On Campus, Distance Learning, or Structured Remote*
On Campus: in-person courses.
Distance Learning: asynchronous learning meaning no required meetings, but professor is available via email.
Structured Remote: synchronous learning meaning you are expected to attend virtual meetings.
All dually enrolled students must fill out the Dual Credit Refusal Form. This indicates whether or not the student wishes to receive both high school and college credit.
If students do not wish to receive high school credit for the college courses, students must complete Parts I, II, and III on this form before returning this form to the school’s Dual Enrollment Program Assistant (DEPA). Otherwise, students only need to complete Part I, initial at the bottom of the page and return the form to the counselor. See below for details. All decisions related to dual credit must be made during the course scheduling process. Decisions are final and will be based on the completed section on the form.
Check out the sample forms below!
Sample Dual Credit Refusal Form (for credit)
If you wish to obtain high school credit for the MC course, fill out only part I and the very bottom section of the form (similar to photo to left).
Sample Dual Credit Refusal Form (without credit)
If you do not wish to receive high school credit for the MC course, complete Parts I, II, and III on this form before returning the form to the school's Dual Enrollment Program Assistant (DEPA).
