Vanguard seeks highly motivated and capable high school students who meet the following criteria:

• Currently enrolled in the junior or senior year of high school at a participating high school
• Have a cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale
• Have authorization from the high school administrator that certifies the year in school and academic standing
• Letter of recommendation from your high school guidance counselor if GPA is below 3.0

• Once a student has been awarded a high school diploma, General Equivalency Development certificate (GED), or other high school graduation certificate, they will no longer be able to enroll in Dual Enrollment classes and will need to apply to a college degree program (resident or online).
• Grades will become part of the student's permanent high school transcript and Vanguard University's transcript (these are official transcripts and should be included on any college application).
• Students are limited to taking a maximum of 9 credit hours of courses per semester. To ensure academic success, we recommend that no more than 2 courses per semester are taken.
• Students must earn a 3.0 or higher in their previous Dual Enrollment courses to be eligible to enroll in additional units.
• The maximum credits a student can take is limited to 36; however, with review and approval, the maximum can be increased to 60 credits.
• Students who fail a Dual Enrollment credit course may repeat the course one time. The student must pay the tuition and fees for the repeated course. If a student fails a second course, they will be removed from the Dual Enrollment program.
