DUAL ENROLLMENT REGISTRATION
(HIGH SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY CREDIT)
UWF has established agreements with local school districts in accordance with
Section 1007.27, Florida Statutes. Contact the Office of the Registrar or the
school district to determine authorized school districts for UWF. The dual
enrollment program allows qualified high school students to enroll as non-degree
students at UWF to earn university academic credit which also fulfill high
school credit requirements. Dual enrolled students may enroll in university
credit courses to enhance the high school curriculum while taking other courses
at the high school. Students who are enrolled in a home school program
registered with an approved school district are eligible for dual enrollment
provided they meet the qualifications listed. Student success in the Dual
Enrollment Program is dependent upon the student?s academic readiness and social
maturity. Therefore, the University has established the following criteria:
