Winters Mill High – DUAL ENROLLMENT - General

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Dual enrollment provides high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to enroll in college level courses through local colleges while enrolled in a Carroll County public high school. Dually enrolled students may take college courses for which they have met the prerequisite requirements and for which they have received authorization by both a parent/guardian and a designated school official. Approval for participation is dependent upon the student’s GPA, service-learning hours, and attendance requirements. Courses may be selected from either the general education component or the career completer courses of CCPS state-approved programs offered at the College. Courses not eligible for the dual enrollment program include summer courses and non-credit bearing courses. Upon successful completion of the course(s), the student will receive college credit. The grade report will be forwarded at the conclusion of each semester directly to the high school. Students must make an appointment with their school counselor and have a parent conference to review the educational plan, discuss course options at the college, fees, and obtain appropriate paperwork. Prior to the student enrolling in the dual enrollment program, a parent conference will be held with the school counselor for post-secondary planning. The student/parent must complete the Dual Enrollment Application. Dual enrollment courses will be reflected on the student’s high school transcript and the final grade will be calculated into the high school GPA. College courses at the 100 level or above will receive .5 high school credit for 1-2 college course credits and 1.0 high school credit for 3-5 college course credits. Dual enrollment courses will be weighted as a transcripted/AP course and may count toward graduation requirements. Students must be enrolled in a total of four credits for the semester (college and minimum of 1 CCPS credit combined). Select dual enrollment courses are also offered at the high school location. Procedures and the application process still apply.
