The dual enrolment/dual credit program allows certain high school students to enroll in college courses in order to dually earn credits for a high school diploma and a college degree. Students participating in the dual enrollment/dual credit program shall pay normal tuition as required by the College.
A high school student is eligible for dual enrollment/dual credit if he or she meets the following criteria:

The student must meet the entrance requirements of the College; |
|
The student must have a “B” average in completed high school courses; |
|
The student must have written approval of the appropriate principal and the local superintendent of education; |
|
The student may enroll only in postsecondary courses for which high school prerequisites have been completed. (For example, students may not take English Composition until all required high school English courses have been completed.) |
|
The student must be in grade 10, 11, or 12, or have an exception granted by the College upon the recommendation of the student's principal and superintendent and in accordance with Alabama Administrative Code 290-8-9-.17 regarding gifted and talented students. |
