Criteria for Enrollment as a Dual Credit / Enrollment Student

• High school students may apply to take college-level courses if they are a junior or senior, have the required G.P.A. for the requested course(s), and are at least 16 years old. The student must be currently attending a recognized Illinois high school and be in good standing. Prerequisites, including assessment, must be met.
  
  
• Students may enroll in a maximum of seven Dual Credit/Enrollment credit hours/semester if approved by the appropriate high school official (i.e., dean, counselor, principal) and the Department Chair(s) of the Parkland academic department(s). Students may not enroll in courses below the “100” level for dual credit/enrollment.
  
  
• Students will be subject to all the requirements, policies, practices, and procedures governing Parkland College students, including grading standards and student conduct.
  
  
• The type and amount of credit given by the high school toward high school graduation is entirely within the purview of the high school. Note: Credit and grades earned are recorded permanently on the student’s Parkland College transcript. If the student later enrolls at Parkland College, credits earned will count toward degree requirements (where applicable), and grades earned will be counted in the GPA in accordance with Parkland College policies.
  
  
• By his/her signature, the student waives the right to privacy and grants Parkland College officials permission to share information regarding the student’s performance with his/her parents, legal guardians, and/or high school.
  
  
• Dual Credit/Enrollment students admitted under this admission policy do not qualify for financial aid and are considered course enrollees (non-degree-seeking students). However, performance in dual credit/enrollment courses may have short-term and long-term implications on future financial aid eligibility. For additional information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 217/351-2276.
