What is Dual Enrollment?
The Dual Enrollment Program at Broward College (BC) is an accelerated program that allows eligible students to take
postsecondary coursework and simultaneously earn both high school and college credits, saving both time and money! Dual
Enrollment students are exempt from the payment of application fees, tuition and laboratory fees. College courses are offered at
BC campuses and centers, including the Broward College Online campus, and at Franklin Academy.
Is Dual Enrollment Right for Everyone?
The dual enrollment program is an opportunity to take challenging courses and accelerate educational opportunities. Students
should understand, however, that dual enrollment course are college courses and the amount of work necessary to succeed in dual
enrollment courses may be much greater than in high school courses. In addition, dual enrollment courses become part of a
student’s permanent college transcript and are calculated into the student’s permanent postsecondary GPA. Poor performance as
a dual enrollment student can ultimately impact one’s postsecondary career, including acceptance to a state university, academic
standing and financial aid eligibility. It is important to do well in these courses to realize all the benefits of dual enrollment.
Will dual enrollment courses transfer to other college and universities?
Postsecondary courses taken through dual enrollment will transfer to any Florida public college or university offering that
statewide course number and must be treated as though taken at the receiving institution. However, if students do not, upon high
school graduation, attend the same college or university where they earned the dual enrollment credit, the application of transfer
credit to general education, prerequisite and degree programs may vary at the receiving institution if the course is not offered by
the receiving institution. In addition, students who attend an out-of-state college should check with their intended institution to
inquire whether dual enrollment credit will be accepted in transfer. Transfer policies for postsecondary courses taken through dual
enrollment are consistent with those for students who take postsecondary coursework as a regularly admitted postsecondary
student.
