The Dual Enrollment for Dual Credit Program (DE/DC) program at Northwest Shoals Community College allows eligible students to earn both high school and college credit. College courses count toward high school graduation credits, and the courses remain part of a student’s regular college transcript.
Are you eligible?
Eligible high school students must meet the following criteria:
- Meet the entrance requirements of postsecondary education.
- Be in grade 10, 11, or 12.
- Have a minimum cumulative (unweighted) 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for initial admission in completed high school courses.
- Obtain written approval from the appropriate principal or counselor at the high school.
Continuous Eligibility
To maintain continuous eligibility, student must earn a “C” or better in all attempted college courses. Students who fail to meet this minimum GPA or withdraw from a course will be suspended from the program for a minimum one term. The one-term suspension may not be served during the summer.
