Dual/Joint Enrollment Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between “Dual” and “Joint” Enrollment?“Dual” enrollment means you get credit for both a high school and a college class at the same time – one class that gets counted two places. It really is a great deal! “Joint” enrollment means you are taking a college course while still enrolled in high school, but only earning college credit for the course. Your high school counselor can tell you whether the class you are taking qualifies as “dual” or “joint” enrollment for high school purposes. With either option, you are still earning college credit!
Why take dual/joint enrollment classes?
An immediate benefit is to save money, but other benefits include getting a jump start on your college career and gaining some experience and confidence about college level work through an easier transition. What are the requirements to qualify for a dual/joint enrollment course?
A high school student wishing to take a dual/joint enrollment course at Motlow College must meet all of the following requirements:
o Student must have completed the 10th grade.
o Student must have parent/guardian approval. (signature required on application)
o Student must have approval of high school principal or guidance counselor. (signature required on application)
Student must provide an official ACT/ACT Plan report dated within the past three years with the required sub-score as outlined below. ACT/ACT Plan scores on the high school transcript are acceptable. Students who wish to take:
A collegiate mathematics or science course must have a reading sub-score of 19 or greater, a writing sub-score of 18 or greater, AND a mathematics ACT/ACT Plan mathematics sub-score of 19 or greater.
Any other collegiate course (for example: English, History, Music, Psychology) must have a reading sub-score of 19 or greater AND an English sub-score of 18 or greater.
What if my ACT or PLAN scores are not high enough for me to be eligible for a dual/joint enrollment course? Is there anything else I can do to qualify?
Students with ACT scores that do not meet the dual/joint enrollment required scores may challenge the ACT scores by taking the COMPASS exam on our campus. Students with PLAN scores below the minimum required scores may take the Residual ACT that is valid only for Motlow College. The results of this test cannot be sent to other colleges or used to apply for the Tennessee Lottery Scholarship. You must have completed a Motlow College application to be eligible for the Residual ACT. To find out test dates and times and to schedule a test, call our testing center at (800) 654-4877 ext. 1763 or (931) 393-1763. How do I request a copy of my Motlow College transcript when I graduate from high school?
Official transcripts can be sent directly to another educational institution or business only by written request from the student. Complete a transcript request form to have your Motlow College academic records sent to another college or university. You can access the transcript request form
at http://www.mscc.edu/admissions/transcript_request.aspx. You can also pick up these forms at any Motlow location. Transcript requests can also be submitted by mailing a signed request including your name and Motlow Student A# and the address you would like the transcript to be sent.

Hepatitis B Immunization Health History Form All Students Must Complete
The General Assembly of the State of Tennessee mandates each public or private postsecondary institution in the state provide information concerning hepatitis B infection to all students matriculating for the first time. Tennessee law requires such students complete and sign a waiver form provided by the institution that includes detailed information about the disease.
The law does not require students receive vaccination for enrollment. Furthermore, the institution is not required by law to provide vaccination and/or reimbursement for the vaccine.
Hepatitis B (HBV) Immunization
Hepatitis B (HBV) is a serious viral infection of the liver that can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, and even death. The disease is transmitted by blood and/or body fluids and many people will have no symptoms when they develop the disease. The primary risk factors for Hepatitis B are sexual activity and injecting drug use. This disease is completely preventable. Hepatitis B vaccine is available to all age groups to prevent Hepatitis B viral infection. A series of three (3) doses of vaccine are required for optimal protection. Missed doses may still be sought to complete the series if only one or two have been acquired. The HBV vaccine has a record of safety and is believed to confer lifelong immunity in most cases.
I hereby certify that I have read this information and I have had the entire series of the Hepatitis B vaccine.
________ I hereby certify that I have read this information and I have elected not to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine. ________ I hereby certify that I have read this information and I have elected to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine and/or I am in the process of receiving the complete three dose series of the Hepatitis B vaccine.Parent Signature
