I hope this email fines you well. I am writing you because we have noticed an issue with our dual credit students. We have noticed (email below) that students and/or parents are calling English/Math professors and getting permission to be placed into closed courses. This is causing us some issues because we tell students that the courses are full and/or we have to wait to register dual students until all the regular students have had the opportunity to register. We adhere to the policies of dual registration set forth by Admission. For Math we tell the students that they have to get placed on a waitlist. This usually leads to no English and very few Math courses being available for dual students. Given these current issues, we want to

This chapter presents the statistical results of the correlational study of the relationship between students and college persistence who were enrolled from partnering high schools (Clay County, Corbin, McCreary County, North Laurel, South Laurel, and Whitley County) and the dual credit program. The study theorized that the provision of dual credit programs to participating high schools would affect the students’ choice to attend an institution of higher education or not based upon participation levels in dual credit classes. Furthermore, the study assumed that a relationship will exist in the grade point average earned and dual credit participation. The study was designed to test the assumptions

Dual enrollment enables students to earn transferrable college credit toward a degree or credential by providing high school students with the opportunity to enroll in college courses and earn college credit through partnerships between local school districts and institutions of higher education. (Vargas, Hooker, & Gerwin, 2017, p. 14)
I enrolled in Odessa College my freshman year of high school. The reason for me doing this was so I could get a head start on my college education. A college education is very valuable to me for many reasons, but mostly it is valuable because I want to have good income and great benefits for my future job. I aspire to become a lawyer, but I may change my career choice. Taking dual credit is not always easy, but I know it will be worth it in the long run.
In Lydic’s essay he states that he is not a big fan of the dual credit program and that he is in the minority that does not agree with dual credit. In spite of the fact that he does not like and does not agree with the dual credit program, throughout the whole essay, Lydic’s research basically only shows positivity and how dual credit benefits students.

Furthermore, one of my most challenging experiences was maintaining a 3.0+ GPA in school while attending Oakland Community College in the Dual Enrollment Program. It was a tough situation to be in, due to the excessive amount of work I had to do for both high school and college. Every week I had to complete a chapter of my book, which consisted of long sections using words that I have never even heard of in my life, the prolonged chapters were followed by a required one to two-page essay that was due the next week or else it was considered late. Now keep in mind that these essays were a huge part of my overall grade, so I am embarrassed to say that out of the ten chapters, about four or five of them were late, but the reason for that is because
One goal I have for the year 2016 is finish my basics for college before I graduate high school. I’m going to achieve this goal by continuing the dual-credit program at my local college San Juan. This goal means a lot to me due to the fact I am a Junior in high school and I could graduate as a sophomore or if I work extremely hard even as a junior in college. By achieving this goal I could save thousands of dollars in college fee’s due to the fact as long as I’m in high school while taking my dual credit courses I don’t have to pay. Along with saving money this goal also will allow me to graduate college almost fresh out of high school, meaning I could pursue my dream of being a children’s occupational
While in high school, students have the opportunity to earn college credit to work towards a degree, while earning high school credit at the same time. This is referred to as dual credit, and more and more students are beginning to take advantage of its many purposes. Two types of these dual credit programs are dual enrollment and advanced placement. While both programs have their advantages, there are several reasons that dual enrollment is rightfully preferred by students than its counterpart. Dual enrollment courses benefit students more overall than advanced placement courses, as dual enrollment programs give students the same benefits, if not more, without the intense rigor and risks associated with advanced placement.
Around seven months ago, several of my classmates and I walked into our high school’s computer lab and logged onto Northwestern State University’s (NSU) Moodle website for the first time. Over the next seven months, we logged into our accounts several more times, often every day of the week. As dual-enrollment students, we have been attending online college courses through this website as high school students. These courses allow us to get a head start in our college educations. While this experience has been largely beneficial to us as students, it has not been an entirely pleasant one. The NSU dual-enrollment program has issues, but there are solutions to these problems.
