Steps for Dual Enrollment Students

Discuss your school’s dual enrollment offerings with your high school counselor as you are considering your junior or senior year courses. Obtain permission from your high school to enroll in Dual Enrollment courses.

Complete the Germanna application for admission by your high school’s deadline. Students who are under 18 must have their parent or guardian sign the Parent Certification Form in order to enroll in courses.

Students who have been enrolled in Dual Enrollment courses through Germanna in the previous year may need to update their Germanna application but do not need reapply for admission. Students who have dual enrolled at another VCCS college, or plan to dual enroll in two colleges, will need to complete a separate application for each college.

Review your high school transcripts with your school counselor or submit qualifying SAT or ACT scores. Students without qualifying SAT or ACT scores, must meet a minimum GPA to participate in dual enrollment and, depending upon which courses you seek to enroll in, those requirements may differ.

Register for classes through your high school by the deadline. You must complete and submit a Germanna Registration Form each semester, available at your high school or on Germanna dual enrollment website. Meeting all deadlines is the student’s responsibility.

Submit tuition payment to your high school on time. Your high school will collect tuition at the start of each semester. Check with your high school for tuition rate and payment deadlines. Students who do not submit tuition by the deadline may be dropped from their courses.

Complete your Germanna application for admission.

Provide documentation of attainment of at least the eleventh grade level.

Provide a completed high school student permission to enroll form signed by a high school counselor or principal each semester to plan to enroll.

For home school students

• Provide a copy of a home school agreement approved by the school district or a letter from the local school board or a copy of the letter filed by the parent or legal guardian declaring home school.
• Provide a written recommendation from the home school teacher or tutor.

Submit your high school/home school transcript and any qualifying SAT or ACT scores. Students without qualifying SAT or ACT scores, must meet a minimum GPA to participate in independent dual enrollment and, depending upon which courses you seek to enroll in, those requirements may differ.

Following counselor assessment and approval, high school/home school students will be eligible for admission to Germanna, receive academic advising, and register for classes. Prospective students may be required to meet with the college registrar prior to admission.

Meet with a Germanna counselor prior to each subsequent registration for course approval.

Register for classes by the enrollment deadline and pay tuition on time.
