The Dual Enrollment Program •  The Dual Enrollment Program is a partnership between the

Warren County Community College (WCCC) and Warren Hills High School that allows students to simultaneously earn high school credit AND free, transferrable college credit by completing approved high school courses.

•  Students who complete the coursework through the Dual Enrollment Program will earn credits that are documented on both a Warren Hills High School transcript and a Warren County Community College transcript.

•  Warren County Community College can transfer the college credits to another college that will accept them.

The Dual Enrollment Program •  There are currently 12 courses taught at Warren Hills that

have been approved by the Warren County Community College as meeting the requirements as a dually enrolled course (4 Science, 2 Math, 2 English, 2 History, and 2 Business).

•  The benefits of taking dually enrolled courses include the ability to earn credits that transfer to other colleges. This benefit may not only reduce the cost of post-secondary studies, but may also shorten a student’s duration in college.

•  Parents MUST provide consent prior to student enrollment

in the Dual Enrollment Program.

Advanced Proficient (AP) Courses

hWps://apstudent.collegeboard.org •  Why AP?

•  Earn college credit •  More than 90 percent of colleges and universi5es across the country offer

college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP Exam scores. Exams are graded between 1-‐5. Scores of 3 or higher are passing. Some universi5es require 4 or 5’s to receive credit.

•  Stand Out in College Admissions •  AP courses signal to admissions officers that you’ve undertaken the most rigorous

classes your high school has to offer. They see that you’ve challenged yourself with college-‐level course work and expecta5ons, and have refined your skills to meet these expecta5ons.

•  Skip Introductory Courses •  Taking an AP course and earning a qualifying score on the AP exam can help

you gain advanced placement out of introductory courses.

AP Courses at Warren Hills •  We currently offer 18 AP Courses:

–  Foreign Language •  Spanish, French, German

–  Math •  Calculus, Sta5s5cs

–  History •  US History, European, World, U.S. Government & Poli5cs,
