High School/College Dual Enrollment Guidelines

Through the High School/College Dual Enrollment, academically capable high school students may enroll in college credit courses and receive credit toward both the high school diploma and a college certificate or degree program of study.
  1. High School Seniors with a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 or higher on a 5.0 scale. Students will be considered Seniors the summer after completion of the Junior year in High School.

  2. High School Juniors with a cumulative grade point average of 4.5 or higher on a 5.0 scale. Students will be considered Juniors the summer after completion of the Sophomore year in high school.

  3. Appropriate placement scores in subject area disciplines which require stipulated entry level skills as required by the College.

  4. A recommendation in writing from the high school principal, counselor, or other school designee which approves the student for enrollment in the college credit course.

  5. The College will waive tuition costs for Illinois high school students. The student will be responsible for payment of fees and instructional materials if applicable.
Exceptions:

High School students requesting an exception to the eligibility criteria, excluding placement testing, may be considered on an individual basis by the students' home high school.
