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 high school 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.
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. You can take classes before, during or after the school day, or during the summer. You cannot be registered for dual enrollment courses that are offered at the same timeframe as your high school courses.
School of Record Changes
If a student changes their school of record after applying or while actively participating in the Dual Enrollment program, a new dual enrollment program agreement (Form 508) must be submitted as soon as possible to ensure eligibility and accurate reporting.
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.

This option is only at the direction of your school designee — high school counselor, or parent/guardian for Homeschool and PEP — in collaboration with Indian River State College to support eligibility review for repeat course attempts. The student will be responsible for all costs and fees associated with this repeat, regardless of the semester.
