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.
