Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment allows students to pursue an advanced curriculum that earns the student both high school and college credit simultaneously, and OCPS covers the cost! There is great potential to further engage and motivate students who take academically rigorous courses that capture their interests. To enroll in dual enrollment academic courses, students must demonstrate a readiness to complete college-level course work and attain a qualifying grade point average. When grade point averages are calculated, college-level dual enrollment courses are weighted the same as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International Certification of Education courses.
