Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit

College credit at Seminole State can be obtained through many options:

Career Pathways for High School Coursework

This partnership program between Seminole State College of Florida and Seminole County Public Schools is designed to allow students to earn free college credit in technical areas that apply toward an Associate in Science degree or college credit certificate. In Florida, the Career Pathways program ties directly to the Gold Seal Scholarship. Students complete a defined sequence of courses in high school with at least a B average in the sequence and also pass the assessment to be eligible for college credit for corresponding courses at Seminole State College.  Refer to the Dual Enrollment Agreement between Seminole State and Seminole County Public Schools, posted on the articulation Web page, for details.
