Attention Rising Juniors and Seniors
2017-2018 Juniors & Seniors
Juniors and seniors are allowed to take courses at Forsyth Tech free of charge. These courses are part of a dual enrollment agreement between NC Department of Public Instruction and the NC Community Colleges. All credits will count for both high school and college. The first step to qualifying for the courses is through placement testing at Forsyth Tech. Students take both a verbal and a math test. Once they pass these tests, they must return the test scores to Mrs. Wood in order to be eligible for registration for these classes.
Please make sure to sign your student up for one of the testing times/dates attached. Classes fill up quickly so no enrollment guarantees can be made later in the year.
