Students receive both high school and college credit for these courses. Dual Enrollment students are exempt from tuition, matriculation, student access card fee and laboratory fees, and textbooks are provided by the district. Students who lose a textbook will have to repay the District for the textbook.

Student who are interested in participating in dual enrolllment at NWFSC must have an unweighted cumulative GPA of 3.0 higher and meet the dual enrollment entrance placement scores to participate. Students need to have completed their 9th grade year to be able to participate.

PARENT/GUARDIAN are highly recommended to be present for the returning Dual Enrollment Meeting.
