Dual Credit and Dual Enrollment Courses

Enrollment in dual credit and/or dual enrollment courses is limited to students attending a John A. Logan College district public or private school, and homeschooled students residing in the district. Students must be juniors or seniors or complete the additional requirements for sophomores. Dual credit and dual enrollment definitions are as follows and in accordance with ICCB rules:Dual Credit – An instructional arrangement where an academically qualified student currently enrolled in high school enrolls in a college-level course and, upon successful course completion, concurrently earns both college credit and high school credit.Dual Enrollment – An academically qualified student who is still enrolled in high school also enrolls in a college level course at the community college. Upon successful course completion, the student exclusively earns college credit. No high school credits are earned.

Eligible high school students who desire to enroll in dual credit and/or dual enrollment classes for college credit must: (1) complete a dual credit/dual enrollment form each semester signed by the high school principal or guidance counselor, (2) attach a copy of high school transcripts, and (3) take the appropriate placement tests.

High school students enrolled in dual credit/dual enrollment courses must follow the same course enrollment and withdrawal policies as post-secondary students.
