The HCC Dual Enrollment Program provides an excellent opportunity for high school students to begin their college education early. Through dual enrollment high school students can earn college credit tuition-free while meeting their high school graduation requirements. Dual enrollment or dual/concurrent enrollment as it is generally known, refers to the opportunity for an individual high school student, who is at least 16 years of age and currently enrolled in high school, to be admitted to any curriculum or continuing education course any semester on a space-available basis.
Dual Enrollment Program: High school students are permitted to enroll in college level courses for enrichment and college credit through the dual enrollment program at HCC as legislated by the NC General Assembly and as stated in the NCCCS Administrative Code 23 NCAC 2C.0305. To be enrolled as a dual enrollment student, the following provisions must be met:
- Submit an HCC application for admission, with the parent or legal guardian’s signature if the student is under the age of 18 years old.
- The student must complete a dual enrollment form that must be signed by the high school principal and the President of the College. The dual enrollment form is available in the Enrollment Management Office or on-line at www.haywood.edu.
- In order to ensure that information can flow as needed between the student’s high school, parents or legal guardians, and the appropriate College personnel, it is necessary for the student to obtain the signatures required on the dual enrollment form.
- The student must be at least 16 years of age before classes begin, enrolled at least one-half time (three high school courses or the equivalent) at his or her high school, and be making appropriate progress toward high school graduation as determined by his or her high school principal.
