Some of the benefits of program participation are broadened educational opportunities, increased depth of study, and accelerated attainment of post-secondary educational goals—at zero cost. To get started, please complete these seven simple steps to become a dual enrollment student.  \nBefore you begin, read the Dual Enrollment Agreement and the addendum appropriate to your high school experience.  \nSteps 1 – 4 are completed once. Steps 5 – 7 are completed prior to every semester.  \nStep 1— Meet eligibility requirements  \nRequirements for the three types of dual enrollment include:  \nDual Enrollment –(taking up to 11 credits per term as a part-time student while in grades 6-12)  \n• Earned 6 high school credits  \n• Unweighted high school GPA of 3.0  \n• Approval from a high school counselor  \n• Placement test at college-level  \nEarly Admission –(taking 12-15 credits per semester as a full-time college student) and Accelerated Program (taking more than 15 credits per semester as a full-time college student in select programs leading to industry certifications)  \n• Earned 21 high school credits (18 if you are a full-time student at Florida Virtual School)  \n• Unweighted high school GPA of 3.2  \n• Approval from a high school counselor  \n• Placement test at college-level  \nStep 2—Complete the Polk State College online admission application  \nYou may enter your application during a dual enrollment admission event at your public high school or at the College’s Admission and Registrar’s offices in Winter Haven, Lakeland, or Lake Wales, or online. Check with your high school counselor for dates and times of admission events. You will need:  \n• A valid personal email address  \n• Your own Social Security number (If you don’t have one, you can still apply but do not use your parent’s Social Security number.)  \nWhen you complete the application, print your admission letter. It contains important information, including a testing ticket.  \nStep 3—Submit official scores from an approved placement test  \nPERT, ACT, or SAT scores are acceptable. Official scores must be sent directly to Polk State College from the respective testing agency. PERT scores are accessible to the College from the PERT Testing Repository and are considered official, so students do not need to request PERT scores. Your scores cannot be older than two years from the first day of the semester you plan to attend.  \nIf you are using ACT or SAT, unofficial scores may be used for one semester, but registration will be blocked if official scores are not submitted for future terms. You can use your admission letter with the test ticket to take the PERT atthe College. You must have a picture ID, such as a driver’s license, and a student ID number, which is found on your admission letter.  \nThe table below shows minimum placement scores required for eligibility.  \nSubject PERT ACT SAT NEW SAT  \nReading/Critical Reading  \n106  \n19  \n440  \n24  \n\n| Writing | 103 | 17 | 440 | 25 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nElementary  \nAlgebra/Mathematics  \n114  \n19  \n440  \n24  \nStep 4 – Complete the College’s student orientation  \nTake the online orientation. You will have a registration hold until you complete orientation. Once you complete orientation, you will be able to register within four school day hours or you may provide a copy of your orientation completion certificate (emailed to you) to the college advisor to register immediately.  \nStep 5—Complete course selection, approval, and registration  \n• Public school students – Use the DELTA portal and meet with a high school counselor each semester. Some schools may use the approval form.  \n• Private school and home-schooled students –The approval form must be signed each semester by the highschool counselor or home-school parent and brought to a Polk State","cbCairE1SApvpm5p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairE1SApvpm5p","pdf",150257,"English","# Steps to Become a Dual Enrollment Student\n## Step 1—Meet eligibility requirements\n## Step 2—Complete the online admission application\n## Step 3—Submit official placement test scores\n## Step 4—Complete student orientation\n## Step 5—Course selection, approval, and registration\n## Step 6—Submit the course schedule to the counselor\n## Step 7—Acquire textbooks\n## Contacts and additional information","[{\"question\":\"What are the eligibility requirements for the three dual enrollment options?\",\"answer\":\"Requirements include earned high school credits, an unweighted high school GPA threshold, counselor approval, and a college-level placement test.
