Dual Enrollment

The Dual Enrollment program provides the opportunity for a qualified high school student to enroll in approved courses at Pensacola State College while concurrently enrolled in high school. The student can receive both high school and college credit for these courses. This program is open to the student from a public high school, an accredited private school, or an approved home-education program.

To be eligible for dual enrollment classes, the student must meet the following criteria as appropriate.

  1. The student must be enrolled in grade six through twelve;
  2. The student must have an unweighted high school grade point average of 3.0 or above with a minimum of three high school credits, and who has earned appropriate college placement test scores to enroll in college credit courses; or 
  3. The student must have an unweighted high school grade point average of 2.5 with a minimum of three high school credits, and who has earned appropriate college placement test scores to enroll in programs leading to an industry certification or an applied technology diploma.
  4. A home education student must obtain evidence of eligibility from the School District’s dual enrollment coordinator.

A student who is eligible for the Dual Enrollment program may, based on local availability, enroll in courses on the campus of the high school in which they are enrolled or enroll in courses on a Pensacola State College campus or center. A student wishing to participate in the on-campus Dual Enrollment category should consult with his or her high school guidance counselor to determine whether coursework completed will meet high school graduation requirements.

The Escambia and Santa Rosa County School Districts are responsible for ensuring that the participating student has the approved textbooks for Pensacola State College courses. Each private school is responsible for ensuring the student has the approved textbooks for Pensacola State College courses. The home education student who is approved to enroll in college courses is responsible for purchasing the approved textbooks.
