Admissions - Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment is defined as a student simultaneously earning high school credit toward a high school diploma along with college credit toward an Associate Degree or occupational credit toward a technical certificate. Effective with the Spring 2016 term, new Dual Enrollment Associate in Arts degree seeking students are required to complete SLS 1101 Student Success during their first semester of attendance. Please see your advisor for details. For information on additional requirements and opportunities, go to www.irsc.edu and click on "Choose a Program or Career" then click "Dual Enrollment." Types of Dual Enrollment include:

1. Academic - Students may simultaneously earn high school credit toward a high school diploma and college credit toward an Associate or Baccalaureate Degree. Students may be part time or full time.

For the purpose of this agreement, ACT, SAT, and/or P.E.R.T. scores are acceptable.

Students must have completed, prior to Early Admission, a minimum of six semesters of full time secondary enrollment (grades 9-11). Eligibility criteria, as stated in paragraphs #1 and #2 above, also apply to Early Admission.
