President’s and Dean’s Lists for fall and spring semesters at the end of the academic year to ensure the
accuracy of the awards for these students.
I am a homeschooled student. Can I enroll in dual enrollment classes?
Independent high school/homeschool dual enrollment is available through direct enrollment with the college.
In addition to meeting the general dual enrollment student admissions requirements, high school students
must provide documentation of permission from the high school principal or designee.
Homeschool students must provide a copy of a homeschool agreement approved by the school
district or a letter from the local school board or a copy of the letter filed by the parent/legal
guardian declaring homeschool for religious exemption. Courses taken as independent dual enrollment
shall be transcribed on the student’s college transcript. Students interested in
independent dual enrollment may contact the Office of Admissions and Records at (540) 674-3603 or
