What is an Online Dual Enrollment Course?
Online dual enrollment coursework allows our 11th and 12th grade students at Loyalsock Township HS an opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school through the successful completion of online college coursework. LTHS currently offers online dual enrollment coursework through: Commonwealth University and Harrisburg Area Community College.
Who is Eligible for Online Dual Enrollment Coursework?
These courses are only available to 11th and 12th grade students who have an overall GPA of an 85% or higher. Students considering dual enrollment coursework should be academically ready to succeed at the postsecondary level and capable of handling more accelerated classes. Typically students who do well in dual enrollment have earned high grades (A’s & B’s) in their core classes.
The emotional maturity and level of responsibility the student is ready to assume are also major considerations for success in dual enrollment. Careful attention should be given to the student’s ability to work independently, attend classes regularly, and to complete assigned work without close supervision.
Students should discuss this option with their school counselor, teachers, and family to determine if a dual enrollment course is a good fit for them and their academic and post-secondary plan.
