Purpose of Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment grades impact both your high school and college
GPA.
Grades can affect your acceptance into colleges and universities.
Some colleges and universities will consider your dual enrollment GPA in their admissions decisions.
Dual Enrollment grades can affect your Bright Futures Scholarship.
Earning less than a C in a dual enrollment course may cause your
college/university application to be rejection and/or recinded.
Dual Enrollment grades can affect your acceptance into limited
access majors and/or your admission to graduate school. They
remain on your college and high school transcripts forever, and
they can not be forgiven on your high school transcripts.

Student Success

For the most part, dual enrollment courses are identical to the
courses offered to regularly enrolled college students.
Dual enrollment courses are as academically rigorous as the
courses offered to college students.
What is academic rigor?
The academic or intellectual challenge of a class
How difficult a class is
+
How hard a student has to work to earn a good grade
+
How well a class prepares the student by teaching them skills useful in school, the job world, and in life
= Rigor
Expectations
It is essential to establish positive academic habits and behaviors
from the beginning to meet the challenge and give yourself the
best chances of being successful!
The more rigorous a course the more you can learn!
Be proactive!
11
What does this mean?
12
1. Maintain good class attendance.
Missing even one class can have a negative impact on your grade.
2. Manage your time and stay organized.
Set priorities
Plan ahead
Use a calendar
Make to-do lists
Don’t procrastinate
3. Be prepared.
Have the required textbooks before the class begins.
Come to class each day having read what was required and having reviewed
the notes and material from the previous class session.
4. Learn how to take good notes.
Systematic, shortened format (i.e. outline, 2-column, marginal, power notes, etc.).
Your notes should supplement the textbook and lecture presentations—not be
word for word!

Dual Enrollment Student Success Tips!
5. Study and review every day. (Yes, every day!)
Do not wait until you have a quiz or exam to study.
Review course material daily.
Re-read notes before the next class.
Do practice problems daily.
Avoid the cram!
6. Don’t let tests and exams intimidate you.
A test is simply the opportunity to show the knowledge you have gained.
Tests are not designed to make you fail.
Use a systematic approach to test-taking.
If you experience test anxiety, take a breath and remind yourself that you have
studied the material and know your stuff.
Take the test one question at a time and avoid second-guessing and over-
analyzing your responses.
If you don’t know something, skip it and come back to it later.

Dual Enrollment Student Success Tips!
7. Use the course syllabus.
It is a contract between the student and instructor
It lists course content and assignment due dates
It outlines your instructors’ requirements for the classroom
It provides attendance, grading, and exam policies
8. Keep track of your grades.
Pay attention to technology tools used to maintain grades
Record your grades on assignments when you get your results
Keep track of what you have done and what is left to do by using the syllabus
as a checklist
If you need specific feedback, to help you progress, talk to your instructor!
9. Communicate!
10. Get help early.
