New River Community College’s dual enrollment program gives qualified high school students the opportunity to kick start their college careers by enrolling in college course work while still in high school.
十大网赌软件推荐 gives everyone the opportunity to learn and develop the right skills, so lives and communities are strengthened. The college believes that all people should have a chance not only to develop and extend their skills and knowledge but also to increase awareness of their roles and duties as citizens. The college serves the educational needs of the public and assumes a responsibility to help provide the requirements for trained workers in the New River Valley through a combined effort with local industry, business, professions, and government, including economic development efforts. 十大网赌软件推荐 is also dedicated to organizing programs with senior institutions, as well as with those of local public school systems. It is because of these commitments that 十大网赌软件推荐 partners with high schools in our service region to offer a dual enrollment program.
Dual enrollment is restricted to high school juniors and seniors and homeschool students studying at the high school junior and senior levels. All students admitted under this section must demonstrate readiness for college, meet the applicable college placement requirements and all course pre/corequisites, and address all other college admission criteria. Dual enrollment students may not enroll in developmental education courses. Documentation of parental permission is required for all dual enrollment students. Because enrolling freshman and sophomore students is considered exceptional, the college ready status of each prospective freshman and sophomore student will be treated on a case-by-case basis. Formal approval by the college president, or designee, is required.
High school based dual enrollment is available through contractual partnerships between the college and local public high schools. All students must meet the general dual enrollment student admissions requirements described above. Courses taken for dual enrollment credit will be transcribed on both the student’s college and high school transcripts.
