Dual Enrollment VS AP Classes. LSSC CLASSES ARE WORTH 6.0 GPA JUST LIKE AP CLASSES. Both can earn you college credits. You are building your college transcript, more permanent than HS. DE grades will be placed in your permanent College transcript, while AP is only on your High School transcript. Earning C or lower at the college can prevent you from getting accepted to some universities. Some Universities (private or Ivy League) do not accept college credits earned at a community college. While they will accept many AP college credits. Earning 4 or 5 or higher in 1 AP exam can result to 6 college credits. For example, if you pass AP Lang with a 4 or 5, you will skip ENC 1101 and 1102. Make sure that you give the college a copy of your AP scores so they can add the credits on your transcript.

Dual Enrollment VS AP Classes. AP= Counselors and parents can view your grades. Not for DE. Counselors receive only the final grades. AP teachers can call your parents to inform them that you are doing poorly. Not DE, not much contact between parents and teachers. DE=will be treated as an adult college student not as minor. Counselors support both programs but YOU must be ready to do DE.

Things you need to know. DE requires individuals who are responsible; mature and presents themselves at adults level. Individuals who are successful in the program attend classes regularly, keep up with their assignments, ask for help when needed; procrastinate less; realizing that they are building their college transcripts and DE is not a bragging right to friends. The College and your counselor will treat you as such. The college is closed on Fridays during summer. Pay attention to our website for Guidance Office Summer Hours .
