Important Information
What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual enrollment is a program that allows high school students to earn college and high school credit concurrently. This credit may support a post secondary diploma, certificate, or degree at a Virginia public institution and may also be applied to a high school diploma.
What is the difference between In-School Dual Enrollment and On-Campus Dual Enrollment?
In-School Dual Enrollment is offered by TNCC in partnership with Hampton City Schools, Newport News Public Schools, Poquoson City Schools, Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools, the York County School Division, New Horizons Governor’s School, New Horizons Career-Technical Program, Denbigh Baptist Christian School, Hampton Christian High School, and Peninsula Catholic High School. Through In-School Dual Enrollment, eligible high school students can earn both college credit and high school credit for approved courses taken in their home high schools. Tuition for In-School Dual Enrollment is $15 per credit hour, and some school divisions cover tuition for their students. Upon completion of dual enrollment courses, students are eligible to receive TNCC transcripts.
On-Campus Dual Enrollment allows high school students to take college credit courses on the TNCC campus. Students (including home-schooled students and students from other service areas) may dual enroll on-campus if they meet college prerequisites/requirements with the permission of their high school principal. Tuition for On-Campus Dual Enrollment is the full TNCC tuition rate. Local school divisions determine whether students may also earn high school credit for On-Campus Dual Enrollment courses.
Benefits of Dual Enrollment for Students:
- High school credit and college credit are earned at the same time.
- College credit is transferable to most Virginia colleges and to other public colleges and universities.
- Dual enrollment entitles students access to TNCC campus resources.
- Dual enrollment courses taught in the high school offer the same high academic standards found in courses on the TNCC campus.
- Dual enrollment can save time and tuition, providing affordable college credit for high school students.
Student Eligibility:
- Students in a Virginia public or private secondary school or in a home school program may be eligible for dual enrollment.
- Students must have parental and high school principal permission to register for dual enrollment courses.
- Students must meet admissions criteria and prerequisites established by the post secondary institution.
