Information for Students
Getting Started with Dual Enrollment
Embark on your college adventure with dual enrollment (DE) at Ä¢¹½tv. Here’s what you need to know:
- Ä¢¹½tv doesn’t offer DE courses directly to you; your high school must be part of the Ä¢¹½tv College Readiness Program for you to enroll in an Ä¢¹½tv DE course.
- Each DE course costs $100 per credit hour each semester.
- DE provides the opportunity to have your final course grades transcribed on your Ä¢¹½tv College Transcript.
Understanding the Benefits
Dual enrollment (DE) provides several advantages:
- Convenience: DE enables students to take Ä¢¹½tv courses in their familiar high school environment, alongside teachers and peers they already know.
- Acceleration: DE empowers students to complete a significant portion of their first-year college coursework while still in high school, potentially shortening the time needed to earn an Ä¢¹½tv degree.
- Cost Savings: DE offers Ä¢¹½tv courses at a reduced tuition rate.
- Academic Preparedness: DE equips students with the skills and readiness necessary for advanced coursework at Ä¢¹½tv.
- Improved Performance: DE students who earn credit for Ä¢¹½tv College Algebra and Trigonometry typically achieve higher GPAs in their first year at Ä¢¹½tv compared to students who do not have DE credit.
Understanding the Criteria
To qualify for DE, you must meet these criteria:
- Attend a Louisiana public or private high school within the Ä¢¹½tv College Readiness Program.
- Maintain good standing according to your high school’s standards.
- Meet the specific requirements and prerequisites for each college course.
- Be concurrently enrolled in the corresponding high school course.

- Transcript (Official Document): Ä¢¹½tv offers an official transcript showing your DE courses and grades. There’s a $10 fee per copy for transcript requests, whether you want it sent to you or another institution. Note: In the Choice Credit Modality, the student must "opt-in" to have course grades transcribed for each course.
