Dual Enrollment: It is Time to Sign up for Spring Semester!!!
It is time to apply to CF if you are interested in Dual Enrollment for the Spring Semester. We have already held an informational meeting and have packets in the Guidance Office if students missed the meeting. The packet includes a list of requirements, deadlines, directions AND available courses. The Late Admissions Deadline is November 1, 2019. The process involves MULITPLE STEPS and typically takes a couple of weeks to complete.
Once students have been accepted by the College of Central Florida for Dual Enrollment and completed the orientation, they are able to register for classes.
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 Priority Registration*
Monday, November 4, 2019 Late Registration*
We have a form students must complete with their class names, codes and section numbers. This is due by the deadlines above to the Guidance Office.
We communicate through the Remind Ap. Please send a text to: 81010 and in the message portion enter @defhs . This will add you to our reminders.
* These dates are different than the dates on the CF Website. We have to submit them one week prior to the dates on the website. Students must honor FHS deadlines.
Please come by the Guidance Office if you have any questions.
