Dual Enrollment courses allow Juniors and Seniors to participate in college level courses conducted during the school day on the AHS campus. Dual Enrollment courses use University of Memphis, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee College of Applied Technology or Southwest Community College curricula. Admission requirements and enrollment must be met in order to earn college credit. For Dual Enrollment courses, teachers will add four (4) points to the final average of each grading period and each semester exam grade. The two nine-week grades and the semester exam grade will be used to calculate the semester average. Points are not added to the semester average. *Please note a course is defined as a university/college course offered during a semester. Example: Students enrolled in Dual Enrollment English are enrolled in 2 courses at the University of Memphis. English 1010 during semester one and English 1020 during semester two.
