I'm in a dual enrollment program and considering applying to Florida Southern College. Does anyone know how they typically handle dual enrollment credits? I'm worried about losing credits I've worked hard for.
Florida Southern College does generally accept dual enrollment credits, as long as the course is college-level and the grade earned is a C or higher. However, the applicability of those credits to your intended degree program will vary depending on the specific courses you've taken through dual enrollment.
To give you a more concrete idea, if you've taken a more general or introductory course through your dual enrollment program – say, Intro to Psychology or English Composition – it's highly likely that this course would transfer over as it's a common requirement across many degree programs.
On the other hand, if you've taken a very specific or specialized course, it might not directly line up with any courses offered at Florida Southern, therefore might not count towards your degree requirements. Even in such cases, though, these credits might still be applied as elective credits.
For more specific information, I'd recommend reaching out directly to Florida Southern's Registrar's Office, or their Admission Office for incoming students. They can give you the most accurate picture of how your specific dual enrollment credits would transfer over. It may also help to have a copy of your transcript or a list of the dual enrollment courses you've taken handy when you reach out.
