Courses taken through dual enrollment will be included in the student’s GPA/rank and weighted as Dual Credit/Advanced Placement (AP) in accordance with the South Carolina Uniform Grading Scale. A three-hour credit college course transfers as one (1) high school unit of credit.
Tuition, books, and any other college course fees shall be at the expense of the student or his/her parents or legal guardians.
Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch will qualify for financial assistance.
Students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch are responsible for the full cost of tuition for each course. However, the state may cover a portion of the cost under the educational lottery program, depending on availability of funding. The exact cost to students will be calculated and applied at the end of each semester (students should ensure the business office knows they are a dual credit student so that a notice can be placed on their account to allow for late payment of tuition pending determination of state funding).
