DUAL ENROLLMENT

Courses for College and High School Credit

Explore the courses you can take as a dual enrollment student. If you enroll in one of these courses and pass at the end of the semester, you will receive both college and high school credit. 

If you have questions about how dual enrollment courses will apply to your high school graduation requirements, talk to your guidance counselor. 

Dual enrollment college credit will transfer to any public college or university offering that course with the same prefix and number. However, if you do not attend Indian River State College after high school, we cannot guarantee your earned dual enrollment credits will apply to the equivalent course at another institution. 

Course Placements

To determine the English, reading or math courses you should take at The River, we will review your test scores or high school credits. Those will be used to place you in the appropriate course level.

Information for Parents

College course materials and class discussions may reflect topics not typically included in high school courses. College courses will not be modified to accommodate variations in student age and/or maturity. As a parent, you can access and review course syllabi online to determine if the content is age appropriate for your student. 

Flexible Locations and Times

Dual enrollment courses are available at any of the five Indian River State College campuses and at many high schools in Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, and St. Lucie county. Learn more about the dual enrollment agreements with public, private and high schools in the Treasure Coast area. 

You can take classes before, during or after the school day, or during the summer. Review the dual enrollment calendar for more information.
