Dual enrollment courses allow students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit by taking courses at a college, while still enrolled in high school. Dual enrollment classes are taught by college or university professors, and the school district has arranged to award high school credit for the classes. This is available to all Ferguson-Florissant School District high school students.
To earn college credit, successfully complete the course based on college/ university requirements. Upon completing the course, you will also receive HS credit and a grade from FFSD.
Benefits
There are many benefits to taking Dual Enrollment courses: FFSD pays all fees for registration and books, you can earn college credit directly, your admissions application may be perceived as being more competitive when applying for college, you may be exempt from beginning level courses while in college, grade points are weighted, you may be eligible for Honors and other special programs in college, and you might save time and money in your college experience after high school.
Enrollment Requirements
Contact a partnering college/ university for information and work with your HS guidance counselor as soon as possible.
