Dual Enrollment is a unique early entry program for talented high school students who wish to enroll part-time in college as they complete their junior and senior year in high school. Students must have exhausted all or most of the academically challenging coursework offered by the high school. Dual enrollment is meant to complement the course offerings at high school, not replace. See detailed policies in drop-down menu below. Students, you must inform your school counselor immediately if there are any changes to your enrollment status in your dual enrollment course. Failure to communicate a withdrawal from a course with your school counselor will result in a failing grade for the dual enrollment course.

Tuition is paid directly to the college/university. Many colleges offer tuition reductions and scholarship opportunities. All course placements are subject to seat availability. Matriculated current college students receive priority in course selection.
Students can take summer courses at colleges, but they will not count for High School Credit. We would still like to know that you are taking the course, so please fill out the Penn Manor Dual Enrollment Application, but it will not be approved for high school credit.
