Dual Enrollment

Want to take college classes?

Concurrent enrollment allows students to be enrolled in high school and community college. If you are a strong student and want to challenge yourself, concurrent enrollment may be ideal for you. There are specific rules to which all students must adhere. The process for enrollment is as follows:

High School Students

  1. Submit a Community College application. (Application assistance in the College Center, B102) 
  2. Complete the K-12 Concurrent Enrollment form. 
  3. Obtain parent signature, class information and student information on the K-12 Concurrent Enrollment Form. Turn in your forms to Ms. Lepore in the College Center in room B-102.
  4. Once the K-12 forms have been processed, you will be able to add the class using the online system.
  5. The student's parents WILL NOT receive any information from the community college; even if the student gives their parent permission. The student's information IS CONFIDENTIAL.

Here are some benefits of taking college classes while you're still in high school:

  1. An excellent way to get ahead and complete some courses before going to college.
  2. Great way to show colleges that you're ready for college work.
  3. It helps you be competitive in the college admissions process.
  4. Great opportunity to see what college courses are like and to try out a course in the major you are planning on entering. Some college courses will count for college credit and high school credit.  Bring your official college transcript to the College Center, room B102, once the course is completed, and it will be added to your transcript. Before choosing a college class, be sure to speak to your counselor. Some of the college classes that Panorama High School will allow credit for do not actually count in your Panorama High School GPA or for college. See Ms. Lepore for more details.

IMPORTANT!! 

Remember! These are real college courses, and you are establishing your college transcript. If you do well in the course, that good grade will go with you to college. However, if you do badly, that bad grade will also go with you to college. So be sure you are ready to put the time in to be successful in the course.
 
If you decide to DROP THE COURSE, you MUST make sure you formally drop it with the college. Don’t just stop going to class, or you will end up with a ‘Fail’ and it will show up when applying to college!

See Ms. Lepore, room B102 for assistance.
