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.

Application Process

To become a dual enrollment student, you will need to apply for admission to Indian River State College, apply for dual enrollment, and complete your dual enrollment form.

Home/Private School Students 

Additional steps for Home Education Students and Private School Students not using the DEAN System:

1. Complete and submit the Dual Enrollment Registration (Form 68) to the nearest IRSC campus. Forms must be signed by the student and the high school designee, and parent or legal guardian (if the student is under 18 years of age).
2. Home education students must also complete the Home School Dual Enrollment Agreement and provide proof of enrollment in a home education program from their local school district, pursuant to Florida Statutes 232.02(4). Home School Dual Enrollment Agreement Updates are made annually and can be found by referencing this page.
3. All Private school and Home education students must return their textbooks and the accompanying components by the published deadline for each term to the IRSC Bookstore. All books must be returned to the Massey Campus Bookstore.

Required Textbooks

Required textbooks are provided at no additional cost to public high schools, charter high schools, private schools, and homeschool students. 

• Textbooks for public high schools are provided by the School Districts and must be returned at the designated time each semester. Check with your high school guidance counselor for more information.
• Textbooks for home school students and private school students are provided by IRSC and must be returned to the IRSC Bookstore at the end of the semester. 

For questions regarding textbooks, please contact your high school or district or the River Bookstore. Please see the Dual Enrollment Calendar for important dates and deadlines. Failure to return books by the published deadlines, will result in a hold on your registration and a charge against your account.
