Dual enrollment provides qualified high school students with the opportunity to complete college level courses while still attending high school. Courses completed as a dual enrollment student appear on both the student’s high school, and Germanna transcripts.
Only fully credentialed college faculty, either full or part-time, teach dual enrollment courses for Germanna. The four year colleges and universities of the Commonwealth generally accept the credits earned through dual enrollment. However, we encourage students to check with the admissions office of schools to which they intend to transfer.
Home school and high school students who plan on taking classes outside of the programmed high school day and at a Germanna facility are called, “Independent Dual Enrollment (IDE)” students. IDE students must submit all required documentation to a Germanna Counselor in Student Services for consideration each semester until the completion of high school.
