Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) To
				be eligible to receive college credit through dual enrollment:
(a) Students must meet the grade point
				average (GPA) requirements, as specified in Section
				1007.271, F.S., for the degree
				or certificate program selected. Procedures for determining exceptions to the
				GPA requirements on an individual student basis must be noted in the Dual
				Enrollment Articulation Agreement as required by Section
				1007.271, F.S.
(b) Students must demonstrate readiness for
				college-level work pursuant to Section
				1008.30(1),
				F.S. and Rule 6A-10.0315, F.A.C., which is
				hereby incorporated by reference. Pursuant to Section
				1008.30(1),
				F.S., Florida College System institutions may use alternative methods in lieu
				of the common placement tests as identified in Rule
				6A-10.0315, F.A.C., to determine
				student eligibility to participate in dual enrollment. The use of alternative
				methods must be specified in the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement.
				Students who have been identified as deficient in basic competencies in one of
				the areas of reading, writing or mathematics, as determined by scores on a
				postsecondary readiness assessment or alternative method identified in Rule
				6A-10.0315, F.A.C., shall not be
				permitted to enroll in college credit courses in curriculum areas precluded by
				the deficiency. Students may enroll in college credit courses that are not
				precluded by the deficiency; however, students may not earn more than twelve
				(12) college credit hours prior to the correction of all deficiencies.
				Exceptions to the twelve (12) college credit hour limitation may be granted by
				the postsecondary institution provided that the dual enrollment student is
				concurrently enrolled in a secondary course(s) in the basic competency area(s)
				for which they have been deemed deficient by the postsecondary readiness
				assessment or alternative method. In addition, the secondary student who has
				accumulated twelve (12) college credit hours and has not yet demonstrated
				proficiency in the basic competency areas of reading, writing and mathematics
				must be advised in writing by the school district of the requirements for
				associate degree completion and state university admission, including
				information about future financial aid eligibility and the potential costs of
				accumulating excessive college credit, as outlined in Section
				1009.286, F.S.
(c) For joint dual enrollment and Advanced
				Placement (AP) courses, as authorized in Section
				1007.272, F.S., students must
				comply with the add/drop policies and deadlines of the postsecondary
				institution. A student who elects to enroll in an AP course that is jointly
				offered with a dual enrollment course may not earn postsecondary credit for
				that course through dual enrollment.
(d) In order to remain eligible for college
				credit coursework, students must maintain the high school grade point average
				required for initial eligibility unless otherwise noted in the Dual Enrollment
				Articulation Agreement.
(e)
				Participation of exceptional student education (ESE) students must be in
				accordance with statutory eligibility requirements and with the procedural
				guidelines and district-college responsibilities delineated in the Dual
				Enrollment Articulation Agreement.
(f) Districts and colleges may agree to
				extend dual enrollment participation in Student Life Skills (designated as SLS
				course prefix in the Statewide Course Numbering System) courses to students who
				do not meet the statutory eligibility requirements, if alternate eligibility
				requirements are delineated in the Dual Enrollment Articulation
				Agreement.
(g) In order to be
				considered a full-time dual enrollment early admission student, the student
				must enroll in a minimum of twelve (12) college credit hours but may not be
				required to enroll in more than fifteen (15) college credit
				hours.
