Question

OKAY I KNOW THAT I MUST BE AN OLD FART BUT I WANTED TO ASK HOW DOES DUAL ENROLLMENT HELP YOU?FROM WHAT GRADE DO YOU START?IS IT TRUE THAT YOU CAN SHAVE OFF 2 YEARS OFF OF COLLEGE?OH YES I ALSO HEARD THAT THESE DAYS YOU CAN TAKE SUMMER COURSES,NIGHT CLASSES,AP CLASSES AND DUAL ENROLLMENT TOGETHER?

Answer 1

It helps you get to study better courses than offered in HS. Many smart kids are bored stiff by HS classes. helps you to graduate from college earlier.
Just be sure youare mentally and physically mature enough to hang out with older college kids. If you start working at age 21-21 after your BA then be prepared that people may not take u serious due to your age. Also you may not have had many real life experiences if all time is spent on stydying. So kepp a balance. Live - study - work out - rest.

Answer 2

I did dual enrollment in high school and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I did it in Texas, beginning my sophomore year. I graduated with an associates degree and diploma.

I was able to take night classes, summer classes and everything else, just like a college student.

My school was very small and located on a college campus.

Over all, I had a great time, and I entered college light years ahead of other students.

It was hard work, and certainly not for every child.

Answer 3

At my school, you can start enrolling in dual enrollment classes, which count as both high school and college credits, in junior or sophomore year, depending on how motivated you are and how many classes you want to take per semester.

If you take enough credits and fulfill the requirements of the Associate in Arts (AA) degree program, you can graduate with your AA, and transfer to a public instate college (acceptance of transfer to a public instate college in Florida after graduation with an AA degree from a Florida community college is guaranteed, though you might not get to pick the college). However, not all courses transfer to private colleges or colleges outside of your state, and you have to work closely with your college and high school counselors to make sure all classes will count as credit for the college you wish to attend. However, I am not sure what the policy is in other states.

Your best bet is to talk to your high school guidance counselor and find out if dual enrollment is right for you.

Answer 4

You will probably only be able to transfer credits if the community college is very good and the private school is not so discerning. Most colleges want you taking your degree from them, not a competitor. It's also much harder to apply as a transfer student than it is to apply as a freshman. An exception is if you're transferring from a community college to a four-year state school in the same system - in that case, the credits almost always transfer. (Sidenote: if you want to graduate in three years, though, there's no reason you can't do that even if you are called a freshman when you start at the private university. Most of the time, it's possible to graduate early if you plan each course to meet the distribution requirements - i.e. don't change your major halfway through - and you have some credits from transfer, AP classes, extra load, or summer classes.)

Answer 5

You enroll in high school of your choice -- you enroll in college of your choice-If you are willing to work you can be a junior in college when you graduate high school. You have maintain a grade point average set by each school to be allowed to take college classes. You take your college classes at night and during summer in addition to full load high school classes.
