UPPER MARLBORO, MD – Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) will host two parent information sessions for enrollment into the Dual Enrollment Program. The Dual Enrollment Program is designed for high school seniors and juniors who wish to enroll in college-level courses. Students accepted into the program will be enrolled simultaneously in high school and in state university or college courses, with tuition paid by PGCPS.
Acceptance is based on the student’s high school grade point average (GPA), with a minimum requirement of 2.5 and approval of the student’s high school principal. All students who enroll in the Dual Enrollment Program must be re-certified each semester by their principal until they have graduated from high school.
During the information sessions, parents will receive an overview of dual enrollment, the process and timeline for Summer and Fall session registration, and application requirements.
Representatives will be on site from PGCC to answer parent questions. To officially apply for entry into the program, students will need to take the SAT, ACT, or Accuplacer. The Accuplacer is a college placement exam that assesses student knowledge in math, reading and writing. Accuplacer tests will be offered at each high school during the testing window ofMarch 3-21. Each school will determine the date of Accuplacer testing; please check with your school administrator for additional details.
