College Credit
Poor performance as a dual enrolled student can ultimately impact one’s postsecondary career, including acceptance to a state university, academic standing, and financial aid eligibility. Dual enrollment courses become part of a student’s permanent college transcript and are
calculated into the student’s permanent postsecondary GPA.
