Important Information Your grade from PBSC will be sent directly to Park Vista at the end of the college semester. It will be entered into your academic record but will not be shown on your School District of Palm Beach County report card. In order to receive the dual enrollment credits as college level credits, you are reminded that upon high school graduation you must request PBSC to forward your official PBSC transcript to the college or university into which you enroll. You must earn a “C” or higher in the present dual enrollment course to be eligible for the next semester dual enrollment courses.

Important Test Score Information If you do not have an SAT, ACT or PERT score, obtain a free PERT voucher from the Admissions Office at Palm Beach State College by completing the online application and letting them know that you are a dual enrollment student. You will then present this voucher and a valid photo ID to the Testing Center at Palm Beach State College where you will take the PERT.

Palm Beach County Schools will not allow you to enroll the next semester if you withdraw after that date. Be Aware! Withdrawing after the Add/Drop period can have a negative impact on your college admission status and financial aid eligibility. WITHDRAWAL POLICY
