Dual Enrollment

Florida Welcomes Dual Enrollment Students!

Dual enrollment is a program that allows secondary students, including home education and private school students to take postsecondary coursework and simultaneously earn credit toward a high school diploma, a career certificate, an associate or baccalaureate degree at a Florida public or eligible private institution.

Dual Enrollment Eligibility

Students must meet the following eligibility criteria per s. 1007.271(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.):

  • Be enrolled as a student in a Florida public or nonpublic secondary school (grades 6-12), or in a home education program;
  • Have a 3.0 unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) to enroll in college credits, or a 2.0 unweighted high school GPA to enroll in career dual enrollment courses;
  • For college credits, demonstrate college readiness outlined in Rule 6A-10.0315, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) pursuant to Rule 6A-14.064, F.A.C.;
  • Meet any additional eligibility criteria specified by the postsecondary institution in the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement; and
  • Not be scheduled to graduate from high school prior to the completion of the dual enrollment course.

Public High School Students

According to s. 1007.271(21), F.S., each district school superintendent and Florida College System institution president shall develop a comprehensive dual enrollment articulation for the respective school district and Florida College System institution.

If a student is enrolled at a Florida public high school, we recommend:

  • The student meets with a high school guidance counselor to determine eligibility for dual enrollment.
  • A parent or guardian contacts the Dual Enrollment Coordinator at the desired Florida College System institution to ensure successful enrollment.

Available Courses for Students

The Dual Enrollment Course-High School Subject Area Equivalency List is updated annually and approved by the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) and the State Board of Education as a tool that identifies dual enrollment courses guaranteed to satisfy specific high school graduation subject area requirements.
