The college reserves the right to evaluate special cases and to refuse admission to applicants when considered in the best interest of the college. Furthermore, when enrollments must be limited for any curriculum, priority shall be given to all qualified applicants who are residents of the political subdivisions supporting the college and to Virginia residents not having access to a given program at their local community college, provided such students apply for admission to the program prior to registration or by a deadline established by the college. In addition, residents of localities with which the college has clinical-site or other agreements may receive equal consideration for admission. High school juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years of age and who are approved to participate, may receive both high school and college credit. These students may not register for developmental courses or for health and physical education courses.
Dual enrollment is initiated through the students' high schools.
The college must receive the written permission from the student's high school principal for each requested semester or term. Each concurrent enrollment must first be approved by the Director of Admissions and Records. High school students enrolled under either arrangement are not eligible to apply for financial aid. This form ensures transfer of the courses to their home institution program. Instead, they should contact these offices directly for noncredit registration information and assistance.
