Application FAQs

  • What is my prospect type?
    • You are applying to be a dual enrollment student so you will choose “Dual Enrollment”
  • What is my “High School Attend from Month” and “High School Attend to Month?”
    • This is the time frame that you’ve attended your high school. For example, if you started high school in August of 2023, your “Attend from” date would be 08/2023. You would likely graduate in 2027, so your “Attend to” date would be 05/2027
  • What is my transcript and how do I find it?
    • Your high school transcript shows your GPA, your grades, and all the courses you’ve taken while in high school. Your high school counselor has this and can give it to you or they will send it directly to us.
  • Can I use my Beginners Permit or Social Security Card as a Proof of Citizenship?
    • No. We are unable to accept permits and Social Security cards as proof of citizenship. It needs to be a valid drivers license, birth certificate, passport, or federal ID card.
  • What if I don’t have my transcript or proof of citizenship when I am filling out the application?
    • That’s okay! You can still submit the question part of your application and log back in at a later date to submit your documents. You or your high school counselor are also able to email us your documents and we can upload them.
  • How do I register for courses?
    • You will meet with your high school counselor to discuss with them what courses you’d like to take and are eligible for. Your high school counselor will send your requests to our office and we will process those and register you on our end. You don’t have to do anything after meeting with your counselor
  • How will I know once I’ve been accepted? 
    • You will receive an email with an acceptance letter attached at the email address you used to apply.
  • I’ve been accepted, but I can’t get into Blackboard yet, why? 
    • Blackboard will be available to students after classes have started. They will not be able to access it before.
