Dual Enrollment

Students enrolled in a high school may be dually enrolled at a local institution of higher learning, such as a community college, college, or university. These students may take classes at their high school or either institution for credit toward their high school diploma, as well as for college credit. Many state governments within the United States have recognized the benefit of dual enrollment and have consequently instructed their public universities to begin collaborating with local schools.

Dual Enrollment affords students the opportunity to take courses that are not typically offered at William Tennent High School, but are eligible for high school credit (example: world languages, advanced mathematics). Students take the course at an approved college or university and receive credit at the institution, as well as high school credit. For the purpose of grade point average calculations, the Dual Enrollment course is weighted the same as an advanced placement course. For further information about Dual Enrollment, please see your school counselor.
