Student Qualifications
High school students may enroll in Vanguard to satisfy high school graduation requirements and earn college credit. Because of the special nature of the Dual Enrollment program, applicants must satisfy the following:
- GPA of at least 3.0 or higher, unweighted
- An unofficial copy of your current high school transcript
- Letter of recommendation from your high school guidance counselor if GPA is below 3.0
- Submit the Dual Enrollment Application
-
- If you taking a math or science course, you must take the ALEKS placement exam.
Admission Process & Policies
Process
- Submit the Dual Enrollment Application and the $15 application fee.
- Submit current high school transcripts. (Students attending a partner school do not need to submit.)
- Students are required to take Math and English assessment tests before enrolling in university courses. This helps us determine the best course placement for success.
Policies
- 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).
- While no more than 2 courses per semester are recommended to ensure academic success; if the student has earned a 3.0 or higher in their previous Dual Enrollment courses, they may 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 for the repeated course. If a student fails a second course, they will be removed from the Dual Enrollment program.
