Dual Enrollment is a STUDENT driven process. It is important you are checking google classroom, our dual enrollment tab of our website (https://sites.google.com/lcsd.k12.sc.us/bhsguidance-about-us/dual-enrollment/uscl), and USCL’s website for updated information on dual enrollment (specifically signing up for classes aka advising).
To be eligible students must have a 3.0 GPA.
Available at York Tech, Winthrop, and USCL.
