Dual Enrollment | Gulf High School

What is Dual Enrollment?

The Dual enrollment is designed for academically talented students who want to accelerate their college careers. Dual enrollment can help offset college expenses for families, shorten the time it takes to earn a degree, and allow qualified students to reduce their course-load per term when they attend college full time.

Dual enrollment students receive both high school and college credit upon successful completion of a dual enrollment course. Common Placement Testing Students wishing to enter the dual enrollment program must demonstrate college readiness by submitting sufficient common placement test scores, including the PERT, SAT, or ACT. The reading and writing scores must place students in at least English Composition I, and the math score must place them into at least college-level math (Math for Liberal Arts and/or College Algebra). Students who score into Intermediate Algebra on their math section may dual enroll, but will be limited to 12 credit hours until sufficient scores are provided, or until a grade of C or higher is earned in Intermediate Algebra. Students may refer to the Student Testing and Placement Chart at the link to determine which scores would be needed for each test and the corresponding placement in each course. Information regarding common placement testing and scheduling the PERT at PHSC can be found online.
