Who is eligible for SPC dual enrollment?
Students in grades 6-12 at Pinellas public schools, private schools and home-education programs who meet SPC's GPA and placement requirements.
Academic courses ask for a 3.0 unweighted GPA (overall or in the subject); career courses ask for 2.0.
How does a private school student sign up?
Through the school counselor, who completes SPC's Private School Agreement form and sends it to a dual enrollment office.
Home-education students work directly with a dual enrollment office.
Does it affect the Florida scholarship?
The scholarship still pays the private school's tuition; SPC courses on its campuses carry no tuition for eligible Pinellas students.
Ask the school how dual enrollment courses fit into its schedule and transcript.
