From the Homestead High School Course Guide:
Dual Enrollment/Credit courses permit eligible students to take a specific class or classes during their high school years and simultaneously earn credit at both the high school and college level. These courses can play a strong role in helping students graduate from high school, transition into college successfully, and reduce the amount of time and costs needed to complete their college degree requirements. College credits earned through a Dual Enrollment program are actual college credits earned through the partnering college. The grade(s) earned as dual credits are on an official transcript from the partnering college and can be transferred to other colleges and universities. For example, credits earned through UW-Whitewater could transfer to UW-Milwaukee or Ohio State.
The dual enrollment/credit courses offered in high school are college level courses. A college course requires more time and personal responsibility than the typical high school class. Students should pay careful attention to their overall course load. Students need to plan their schedules to avoid excessive conflict with course requirements. Homestead counselors are available for scheduling questions and assistance.
Students taking a course for dual credit receive credits from the university at a reduced cost. Course fees can change on an annual basis and have not yet been finalized for the coming academic year.
