Dual Enrollment Information
Keep in mind that dual enrollment involves true college courses which means it falls on the student to be responsible for completing the application, signing up for classes, and communicating with their college professor and school counselor. College professors will NOT share grades or feedback with parents or your high school. Not sure if dual enrollment is the right fit for you? Come by and see your school counselor!

What does dual enrollment look like on a transcript?
Dual Enrollment classes go on a student's transcript as the name of the course with DE beside it to signify it as a college course. In addition, dual enrollment classes are now listed as a letter grade on the high school transcript.
What classes do most students take?
At RHS, Composition I & II (English courses) are by far the most common course for dual enrollment. Second to that is US Government/Economics. Other courses may be acceptable depending on student needs and graduation requirements.
Does one college class count for a full year of an RHS Class? For example, if I take Composition I as my English credit in the fall does this cover my full year of English at RHS?

What colleges can I take courses with?
Most RHS students take courses through Columbia State Community College, however, some students have used MTSU, Belmont, Lipscomb, and Vanderbilt.
