Dual Enrollment Program

Admission applications for Summer 2024 are due April 12, 2024. Apply today!

Reminder!

The Dual Enrollment Program allows qualified students to take college classes and earn credit toward high school and an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree or a career certificate at the same time.

Dual Enrollment Application Steps

To be eligible to dual enroll, students must:

  • Be in the 6th - 12th grade.
  • Have successfully completed at least one high school level course
  • Be enrolled as a Seminole County Public School (SCPS) student, a registered Home School student with SCPS, a full-time Florida Virtual School (FLVS) student, or as a student at an eligible private school. 
    • Private schools must have an articulation agreement with Seminole State College of Florida before their students may participate in Dual Enrollment. Review the Articulation website for a list of private schools that currently have an agreement with us. 
    • Private schools in Orange or Seminole county interested in partnering with Seminole State may submit an Interest Form to our Office of Articulation 
  • Have an eligible GPA.
    • For Academic Dual Enrollment, students must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative, unweighted, high school GPA.
    • For Career Dual Enrollment, students must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative, unweighted, high school GPA.

Seminole State offers two dual enrollment paths:

  • General Education Path
    • Fulfills General Education courses toward an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree.
    • The A.A. degree is guaranteed to transfer to any Florida public institution and complete the General Education requirements of that institution.
    • A cumulative, unweighted high school GPA of 3.0 is required for this program.
    • Students must meet the prerequisite testing requirements for the course(s) they desire to take.
  • Career Path
    • Fulfills credit toward an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree or career certificate that may lead into an A.S. degree in select programs such as Criminal Justice, Computers, and Business. 
    • Students may enroll in Career Dual Enrollment with a 2.5 cumulative, unweighted high school GPA. However, if the A.S. program requires General Education courses, students must have a 3.0 GPA to take those courses.

Complete the Dual Enrollment Admission Application

  • Must be complete with all approval signatures including the student, parent/guardian and high school counselor (if applicable).
  • Please note: The email address added to the application should be the student's personal email address, not the email address assigned by their high school.

Completed applications can be submitted to any Seminole State College of Florida campus where a Student Success Specialist will assist the student in enrolling into the program, if eligible.

In addition to completing the Dual Enrollment Application, home school students must also complete the updated Home School Articulation Agreement and provide a verification/enrollment letter which details that the student is currently registered as a home school student in Seminole or Orange counties. 

The Seminole State account username is created automatically when the student is matriculated. Students will receive two emails to the personal email address used during time of application. These emails will provide account details, instructions on how to activate the account, and information to setup the password through the Microsoft Password Reset Portal (SSPR).
