Financial Responsibility
Student & Family responsible for entire cost: tuition and text books
Colleges will send out a bill in the students name
Payment must be made in order to begin course
If payments are not made by due date, students are dropped from the courses and may not be able to be re-added
Grading
Students earn AP weight for all Dual Enrollment coursework
The letter grade provided to the high school on the college transcript from the partner college/ university is what will be reported on the High School transcript
Not all colleges grade the same (ex: a student may earn a 99% in a class, but the college reports it on their transcript as an A not an A+) in this case, the A will be calculated for the student on HHS transcript since that is what is on the official college transcript
Dismissal Guidelines
