Dual enrollment is an articulated acceleration mechanism open to secondary students who are attending public high school. To enroll in dual enrollment academic courses, students must demonstrate a readiness to successfully complete college-level course work and have attained a qualifying grade point average. In order to determine the high school equivalency and the high school credit awarded for postsecondary courses completed through dual enrollment, please refer to the most current Dual Enrollment Equivalency List.
Students must complete the Enrollment Contract
and return to their Counselor for approval.

SHOULD I TAKE AP OR DUAL ENROLLMENT?
There is no single "best" pathway for every student. We encourage students and families to consult with their Counselor and the College and Career Specialist to discuss individual goals and how DE and/or AP classes can help them achieve their academic goals.
College-level dual enrollment courses are weighted the same as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International Certification of Education courses when grade point averages are calculated, but the decision between AP and Dual Enrollment is a personal decision based on each student's academic goals and post secondary plans.
WHO CAN TAKE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES?
All WOHS students who meet the eligibility requirements have the opportunity to earn college credits for free through dual enrollment coursework with the colleges and universities that WOHS has articulation agreements including:
