Dual Enrollment Information
2024-25
WHAT IS DUAL ENROLLMENT?
Dual Enrollment (DE) is an opportunity for high school students to take college courses to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. Students are dually enrolled at L&N STEM and a postsecondary institution. It is important to remember that DE courses become a part of your permanent college transcript.
- Only rising juniors and rising seniors can apply to take DE courses
- Most DE courses are typically taken online, but there may be in-person course options as well.
- If you wish to take an in-person course, you must work with your counselor to ensure it will fit within your L&N school day schedule.
