Trenholm State's Dual Enrollment Program
Access the Path to Your Dreams Today
Dual Enrollment is a program designed for eligible high school students who want to enroll in college-level classes while still attending high school. Students who participate can receive both high school and college credits simultaneously. In addition to receiving dual credit for high school graduation, students can apply select credits towards earning a certified credential from TSCC in their senior year or use them as transfer credits when applying to other colleges and universities.

Students must meet the following requirements to participate in Dual Enrollment:

- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (unweighted for academic/STEM courses) and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (unweighted for CTE courses)

- Submit a signed authorization form for each semester of participation
**Course Placement Testing (Accuplacer) may be required before enrolling in college-level Math and/or English courses**
Students who meet the criteria for initial admission in Dual Enrollment will remain continuously eligible as long as a grade of “C” or better is earned in all attempted college coursework. Students who fail to meet this minimum grade requirement or who withdraw from a course will be suspended from Dual Enrollment for a minimum of one semester (not including the summer semester). The student may not re-enroll until the suspension has been served.
For re-entry, the student must reapply to the program and meet the minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (unweighted for academic/STEM courses) and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (unweighted for CTE courses).
Dual enrollment scholarship funds may be used to cover tuition, textbooks, and supplies depending on the availability of funds, the needs of the individual student, and the requirements of the technical classes. The scope of each scholarship is determined by available funding and the scholarship grant guidelines. Costs covered will be determined on an individual basis.
