Dual Credit Approval Form – SY16-17 (5 Pages)

The DCPS Dual Enrollment Program is an opportunity for DCPS students to enroll in college level courses to gain college exposure and have the potential to earn college credit. All students enrolled in the DCPS Dual Enrollment Program will receive college credit from the university upon the successful completion of each course in which they are enrolled according to the university’s standards regardless of whether the course is approved for Dual Credit.

A select group of courses at GWU, Howard, and UDC-CC (which are listed at the end of this form) have been pre-approved to be eligible for Dual Credit, if a student receives approval from their parent/guardian, school, and Central Office via this form. When taking a college course for Dual Credit, students and families understand that grades earned will be reported on the official DCPS high school transcript regardless of grade earned (A through F, including withdraw [W]) and that DCPS credit will only be awarded for approved courses which are completed and passed with a grade of C or better.. This grade will be calculated with the weight of an AP course as a part of each student’s GPA.

Completion of this form and the steps outlined below are required for a course to be approved for Dual Credit.

  • Prior to submission of this form, a student must meet with his/her counselor to determine whether Dual Credit is an appropriate option for this course and the student.
  • This form must be completed with signed permission from the principal, counselor, and the student’s parent/guardian, and must be submitted via email from the counselor to Renee Scott in the Office of College and Career by Friday, August 26, 2016.
  • The counselor will tentatively add the Dual Credit course to the student’s schedule, pending the signature of a representative from the Office of College and Career.
  • The student has until the end of the secondweek of classes to withdraw his/her dual credit application, at which point the course will be removed from the student’s DCPS Schedule.
  • At the conclusion of first week of class at the Dual Enrollment university, the Office of College and Career will send signed forms for students that have completed all steps to counselors.
  • Counselors will finalize the Dual Credit course on the student’s schedule.
