Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment (DE) is a postsecondary course, taught either at the postsecondary institution, at the high school, or online, by postsecondary faculty or credentialed adjunct faculty. Students are enrolled at the postsecondary institution and earn postsecondary credit upon completion of the course.
Students who meet the qualifications will be eligible for five (5) $540.00 scholarships during their final two years of high school. This scholarship is provided through the Lottery Corporation.
Eligible students must have completed at least the sophomore year of high school with a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. In order to apply for dual enrollment, be sure to select “Dual Enrollment HS Students Only” on your application for admission. Also submit a completed application form authorized by TSAC regarding Dual Enrollment and a written recommendation from the high school principal, teacher, or counselor.
MHS students who have ACT subscores of 19 or higher (an 18 in English, or a 19 in Reading, or a 19 or higher for math or science course), along with an unweighted 3.0 G.P.A., have the privilege of earning college credit through Pellissippi State. Students wishing to pursue college credit must meet several criteria. Successful completion of a dual enrollment course results in an EPSO. Students with a 3.6 unweighted High School GPA are exempt from entrance testing. This applies to all courses except for higher-level math and science courses.
Courses will be taught on the Maryville College campus. Students who have ACT subscores of 21 or higher, along with a 3.0 G.P.A., have the privilege of earning college credit for these courses. For students who are approved for the dual enrollment grant, the only cost will be the cost of a textbook. This is a 3-hour college course that is transferable. Successful completion of a dual enrollment course results in an EPSO.
