Will my child be eligible for dual enrollment?

Yes! Your homeschooled high-schooler may enroll in courses creditable toward both a high school diploma and a career certificate or an associate or baccalaureate degree provided he or she satisfies any course prerequisites and meets certain requirements.

If your child is interested in dual enrolling in your local community college or university, you will first need to find out what the enrollment deadlines, procedures, and requirements are for your chosen institution.  There are specific deadlines for applying for dual enrollment, placement testing (if your child does not already have qualifying test scores), and approvals.  In addition, if your chosen community college or university requires an articulation agreement with iamhomeschooling.com and we do not already have one in place,  you will need to give us sufficient time to process the necessary paperwork.

Please keep in mind that dual enrollment courses are college-level courses presented on an adult level, and the amount of work necessary to succeed in these courses is greater than in high school courses.  Students must be self-disciplined and motivated to study outside of class.  It is important that your child is dedicated to his or her studies and understands what is expected before enrolling. Dual enrollment courses become a part of your child's permanent college transcript and are calculated into his or her permanent high school GPA.  Students who receive a failing grade may have difficulty meeting future admission requirements at colleges and universities and difficulty qualifying for financial aid and scholarships.
