Things to Consider
Courses not taken at SSC or UCF are not covered by the Dual Enrollment/Early Admissions Agreements and therefore are not eligible for tuition and instructional materials reimbursement by SCPS. This includes talent identification programs, college summer programs, summer camps, and courses at schools other than SSC or UCF.
Students must complete all requirements for graduation from a Seminole County Public High School before a diploma will be granted. An overall un-weighted 2.0 GPA is required for high school graduation.
Courses taken through dual enrollment or early admissions are a part of the official college/university transcript as well as the calculation of the college/university grade point average.
Students may not withdraw from any college credit course without written permission of the high school principal or designee. Withdrawing from courses may impact financial aid status for college. Failure to notify the high school may jeopardize high school graduation.
