The Dual Enrollment Program affords students the opportunity to participate in off-campus post-secondary courses, during the school day. Students must enroll in at least one course per semester. Students interested in participating in this program, must see their School Counselor to confirm Montour credit requirements. Students participating in this program are responsible for completing the college/university application process, fees/tuition and transportation to and from the selected college/university. The student is also responsible for providing their confirmation of scheduled classes each semester to their School Counselor. 

Students may take courses at local universities or institutions, or approved providers assuming that this arrangement does not interfere with meeting district graduation requirements. 

Course(s) must be pre-approved by the building principal or designee prior to enrollment. The student and parent/guardian(s) will complete a district form and provide all outlined information required on the form. Upon approval by the building principal or designee, the student may enroll and register for the course. 

Pre-approval for each course will be determined by the type of course attempted, the curriculum area the course coincides with, and the course description. The course subject must be included in the district's planned instruction and be relevant to established academic standards. Course providers will be reviewed by the building principal and the academic department chairperson to verify that the provider and program qualify based upon established district standards. The building principal reserves the right to deny a request if the provider and/or program do not qualify.

Only students in grades 9-12 may submit requests for approval of alternate courses. A maximum of two (2) courses may be approved per student, per school year (July 1- June 30). Courses must be taken during a summer, fall or spring term.

Course(s) shall be attended at one of the Commonwealth of Pa, four year granting, state institutions and/or a county private-accredited, institution of higher learning and/or county community college or an approved provider as noted above. 

The school district shall not be responsible for the cost of tuition & fees, books, supplies, meals, or transportation.

Only those approved courses taken to recoup credit lost during the school year, (i.e. due to failing a required course for graduation) and/or those courses taken within the Dual Enrollment program may be used as credit toward graduation.

• The student shall receive the same letter grade for credit that is assigned by the alternate instruction resource.

• The assigned student grade for successfully completed work shall not be weighted for purposes of computing the student's grade point average, unless prior approval was granted by the building principal before the course work was begun.

Other approved courses will not be granted credit, but may be used to satisfy prerequisites for courses offered within the high school curriculum. Course prerequisites are established for each high school course of study and are published in the courses of study handbook. Alternate courses taken to satisfy prerequisites will not be factored into the student's class rank. Such course(s) will also not be included on the student's high school transcript. 

The Internship Course Program affords students the opportunity to participate in career exploration experiences, during the school day. Students will be required to participate in Internship Course Program Workshops one time per nine week grading period, during Spartan PLT, along with the completion of various embedded workplace experiences and reflection activities. Students, who are interested in participating in this program, should see their School Counselor for the Internship Course Program Application.
