Admission of Students Below Grade 11

In extraordinary cases, where a student who has not completed the tenth grade demonstrates superior ability and capacity to succeed in college level work in a particular discipline, the college may consider admission of that student. Such consideration will be on a course-by-course basis and will be allowed only through the add/drop process, after open registration has been completed.  Students below grade 11 must meet all the requirements of eligibility for Dual Enrollment as well as any departmental recommendations established for the course(s) in which they wish to enroll, as demonstrated by completion of the college placement process.

Students in this category will be bound, as are all other students, by the syllabus of the course.  Course content is non-negotiable.  Moreover, parents are not permitted to attend classes with their children unless they are registered for the course.  The instructor of the course will have the final determination of whether any student below grade 11 will be allowed to enroll in his or her class.

Students who are below grade eleven must receive instructor approval on the first day of class and return the High School Dual Enrollment Authorization Card to the Admissions & Records Office. All adds and drops will be initiated by the student.
