By participating in dual enrollment classes, students not only fulfill their high school requirements but also earn college credits simultaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This equips students with a head start in their higher education, potentially reducing college tuition costs and shortening the time to degree completion. Dual enrollment also introduces students to the rigors of college-level coursework, preparing them for future academic challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 ID=what><b>What is Dual Enrollment?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ed.gov\/2022\/09\/the-power-of-dual-enrollment-the-equitable-expansion-of-college-access-and-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Department of Education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, dual enrollment is offered at over 85% of high schools, and 34% of U.S. high school students take college courses. Despite the widespread participation in dual enrollment classes, it\u2019s useful to understand the program in greater depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, dual enrollment is not a one-size-fits-all program. There are variations depending on the state and district, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Modality\/Location<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most dual enrollment courses are offered at high school. However, some classes are given on a college campus, while others are offered online or at another high school.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Courses offered\/Credits available<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There\u2019s a variety of courses available and credits high school students can earn. In some high schools, students can earn up to 60 credits and receive their associate&#8217;s degree, while other schools offer just a handful of courses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Program costs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In some states, dual enrollment courses come with an extra fee in addition to the course. The fee is for textbooks or transportation to the college where the class is taught.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Impact on GPA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First, dual enrollment courses affect students&#8217; high school GPA but not the college GPA. However, the impact of the course on the high school GPA varies. At some schools, dual enrollment courses are not weighed at all. However, the classes typically involve an extra .5 points, but some schools add one point.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>College\/University acceptance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High school students should know that only some colleges accept credits earned via dual enrollment. In-state public colleges are <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savingforcollege.com\/article\/what-is-dual-enrollment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more likely to accept<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dual credit than out-of-state or private colleges.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 ID=require><b>Requirements for Dual Enrollment\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High school students must meet requirements before taking dual enrollment courses. Once again, the requirements vary from state to state and even by district.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savingforcollege.com\/article\/what-is-dual-enrollment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requirements usually include<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written recommendation from a teacher, principal, coach, or other high school or college staff member\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parent permission<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College course prerequisites or other course placement criteria<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum ACT or SAT scores (or high school GPA)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrance requirements are set by the college.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presuming a high school student meets the requirements, they should carefully consider the challenges involved with taking college-level courses. Here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Academic Rigor:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The classes students take to earn college credit are more demanding than their typical high school class. It will require more attention, focus, dedication, and time. To handle the rigor, students will need to adapt. This will serve them well if they decide to go on to college after high school. It may impact performance in other high school classes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time Management:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When people multitask, they focus less on each activity. If students take a college course, they may have to cut back on extracurricular activities and other high school experiences (especially when classes are in separate locations). It also means more juggling regarding when to take classes, as dual enrollment courses may conflict with standard high school courses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Social Adjustment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High school students who take classes on a college campus will be in an unfamiliar environment with new people. Some may feel uncomfortable socially. Even if the class is in the high school, it may be in a different part of the building, pulling students away from their friends. These changes could be a positive as students can adjust and expand their circles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Transferability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For many high school students, the primary reason they take dual enrollment classes is to secure college credit. However, (as noted above), not all schools give college credits for dual enrollment credits. Therefore, students should verify the transfer policies of colleges that they are considering attending. Depending on school policy, they may be better off taking AP clas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 ID=access><b>Equality of Access to Dual Enrollment Courses<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While dual enrollment courses are available in many high schools, they are not always equally accessible to all students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ed.gov\/2022\/09\/the-power-of-dual-enrollment-the-equitable-expansion-of-college-access-and-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Department of Education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reports, \u201cDual enrollment is often less accessible at schools that serve larger proportions of lower-income communities and communities of color. Even when it is available, students from these same communities participate at lower rates.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schools, districts, and states can take steps to lower the barriers and provide greater access for all students. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Financial support<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In states that don\u2019t fund dual enrollment courses, schools can work with colleges to reduce or waive tuition fees for dual enrollment courses. Waivers could also be given for textbooks, transportation, and course requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Academic Preparation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare the students to take college courses by offering preparatory courses or workshops so they meet prerequisites. Students can then feel confident they can handle the challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Outreach\/Support Services<\/b><span> Students and their families should be made aware of dual enrollment as early as possible. It could be promoted in middle school to raise awareness among students and families. Partner with community organizations to get the word out.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once students are enrolled in dual enrollment courses, they could have a mentor, academic counseling, and peer support networks. This level of support can help with the academic and personal challenges that may arise due to the challenging classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a program like Xello Communities can be most beneficial. A dedicated online community where high school students considering, or participating, in dual enrollment can interact with colleges is invaluable for driving awareness about the program\u2019s benefits while fostering a sense of belonging. This space allows students to connect with college representatives, peers, and alumni, offering firsthand insights and guidance about dual enrollment opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 ID=college><b>The College Perspective\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do colleges feel about dual enrollment? One might logically think they frown on it. After all, high school students who take dual enrollment courses potentially reduce the time and cost of a degree. So, the college loses out on potential revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the benefits of students taking college-level courses outweigh the negatives. High school students who take college courses and do well in them demonstrate that they can handle the academic rigor that college-level work demands. Note that the college or university offering the dual enrollment program matters. Accredited institutions are preferred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s data to back up the value of dual enrollment. A <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/ccrc.tc.columbia.edu\/media\/k2\/attachments\/what-happens-community-college-dual-enrollment-students.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Columbia University\/Community College Research Center study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that 88% of concurrent enrollment students attend college post-high school. And those same students are twice as likely (compared to those who enter with no credits) to complete their degree, according to a <\/span><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/utsystem.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/ut-system-reports\/2018\/dual-credit-and-success-college\/utsystem-dualcreditstudy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Texas study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, dual enrollment courses encourage students to go to college. Once on campus, these students are more likely to stay and complete their degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 ID=helps><b>How Xello Helps<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As more students take dual enrollment classes, they\u2019re starting to think about higher education at an earlier age. Xello Communities helps colleges forge genuine connections with prospective students as early as 9th grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of interactions demystify dual enrollment and highlight its value, encouraging informed decision-making. And by feeling part of a supportive community, students are more likely to continue their education with the college after high school graduation and become advocates, sharing their positive experiences and promoting the program to younger students. This cycle of awareness and community support amplifies dual enrollment\u2019s reach and impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleges can build a community around their school profile on Xello Communities, providing information and context for their dual enrollment programs.
