Note: Seminole State Early College students must attend high school in Seminole County.

The Early College/Dual Enrollment Program allows students to pursue an advanced curriculum that is relevant to their individual post-secondary major of interest. Students can earn credit toward high school completion, a career certificate or an associate or baccalaureate degree at a Florida public institution.

Through this program, students can experience the challenge of college-level courses while they are still in high school. Seminole State offers three Early College/Dual Enrollment paths, including the:

• General Education Path: Fulfills general education courses toward an Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree. An unweighted GPA of 3.0 is required for this program.
• Career Path: Fulfills credit toward an A.S. degree in select programs. Current programs include Criminal Justice, Automotive Service Technology, Building Construction Technology and Business Administration. An unweighted GPA of 2.5 is required for this program.
• Vocational Path: Fulfills vocational credit toward construction/electrical apprenticeships (electrical and fire sprinkler certificates only); allows secondary students to earn credit toward their high school education as well as post-secondary credit toward a college degree.

For the academic and career paths, students must provide official (sealed, unopened, electronic) ACT, SAT, CPT or PERT scores for college-placement purposes. Students who are enrolled in the vocational path will be required to take the Test of Adult Basic Education.
