Considerations:

​

• Is your student self motivated?

• Dual Enrollment classes can potentially affect HOPE Eligibility
• Is your student comfortable with emailing professors and communicating through message boards?

Last Minute Thoughts

Research options, check to see if classes will transfer to the school(s) your student is interested in attending.

​

​

Ensure that logistics of the schedule will work for your student. Keep in mind that the OCHS bell schedule takes precedence over the college’s schedule.

​

Before deciding to dual enroll, make sure your student is academically and emotionally prepared for the challenge of college classes.
