Dual Enrollment

Welcome to Maryville High School's Dual Enrollment Site

Hey all Dual Enrollment Students,

Welcome back to school! On your first day of school, you will receive your schedule in homeroom. You will notice that you have been assigned your dual enrollment class during the block for which you registered. You will report to Mrs. Burchfield during your assigned dual enrollment block in the Ed Harmon Room. She will have a handout for all of you, and you will be going over several important points.

MARYVILLE COLLEGE DUAL ENROLLMENT COVID REQUIREMENTS

All students taking Dual Enrollment classes at Maryville College should have received the correspondence below. If you have any questions regarding these updates, please reach out to Robin Burchfield at robin.burchfield @maryville-schools.org.

MC is endeavoring to return to pre-COVID campus life safely and gradually, while being mindful of risks that remain, especially with COVID variants. Last week you received the College’s COVID update, which offered information in preparation for the Fall semester. We recognize this was a large amount of information, so please know that the Admissions staff remains available to respond to any questions and concerns you may have, or to get you connected with the right person.

OVERALL UPDATES:

By August 1, 2021, all students must do one of the following: (1) Provide proof of COVID vaccination, or (2) Apply for one of the COVID vaccination exemptions. The MC app has a button for vaccination reporting and exemption requests, or you may simply use this link.
Applications for medical and religious vaccination exemptions require supporting documentation, which is outlined on our COVID--19 webpage. Such exemptions must be requested by August 1, and decisions will be communicated to students by August 6.
All unvaccinated dual enrollment students will be required to undergo periodic and random COVID testing during the 2021–2022 year. Students must report results back to the COVID Coordinator within 72 hours of being chosen to be tested. Test results are to be emailed to mcdos@maryvillecollege.edu and results must show the student’s full name, date of test, test results and the testing site/vendor. Students have the choice of where they are tested. The Blount County Health Department offers free onsite testing some days of the week and free self-test kits on other days. Local pharmacies are also testing centers. Over-the counter test kits may be purchased as well, but at the student’s own expense.

The College will be unable to provide unvaccinated students who test positive for COVID or who have been exposed to the virus, with remote/hybrid instruction this year. Unvaccinated students will need to remain at home and not return to campus until they have fully recovered (for one to two weeks, depending upon symptoms and testing).

*********

As always, the College reserves the option of amending our requirements, should on-campus or local COVID conditions necessitate such action. Further, we may also require vaccination when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approves a COVID vaccine.

We want to make your next steps to college positive and comfortable and be sure you have all the information you need. Once again, please know we are available to help however we can. We continue to be available to respond to your questions and concerns at dualenrollment@maryvillecollege.edu I look forward to seeing you on campus soon and GO SCOTS!

All the best,

Dual Enrollment provides students the opportunity to take college courses at Maryville College, Pellissippi State Community College, the University of Tennessee, and Roane State to earn both high school and college credit. There are many benefits to enrolling in dual enrollment courses, but there are also specific requirements as well. This site explains the benefits, requirements, and procedures for enrolling in Dual Enrollment courses at Maryville High School.

Any student who has taken dual enrollment courses throughout his or her time at M.H.S. must remember to request a transcript from the dual enrollment college be sent to the college the student is attending in the fall or summer. Transcripts are private, legal documents, and Maryville High School cannot make this request for you. You can do this through your MYPellissippi account or college's website if you still have an active account. If not, you will need to contact your college about that process. You should take care of this immediately, and then follow up with your fall college's admission office to be sure they received the information.

Benefits of Dual Enrollment

Early College Experience Benefits

1. Provides an introduction to college-level work and expectations

2. Credit accepted by most colleges and universities (all public colleges and universities in Tennessee, including UT, and many out-of-state colleges) for general education classes, such as English, Biology, Psychology, and Mathematics courses.

3. For the dual courses taught through the Vocational/Technical Department, credit may not be transferrable. Credit often leads to certification. The student will need to check with his/her high school instructor to determine the type of credit earned for vocational/technical dual courses.

4. Exceptionally low cost. Students will receive (2) $500.00 Dual Enrollment Lottery Scholarships plus $200.00 toward a third dual class during their junior and senior years of high school to be used for tuition. Students must maintain a 2.75 G.P.A. in their college courses to be eligible for the Dual Enrollment Lottery Scholarships each term.)

5. Experiencing college without the stress of a full load of classes but with the assistance and support from Maryville High School

6. Earn up to 24 hours of college credit while still in high school

7. Dual enrollment courses are Group 2 courses which earn a .75 bonus to a passing grade.

8. Any 3 dual enrollment courses can be counted as the elective focus requirement. (Please refer to #4 above and the monetary amount which may be required for the 3rd course.)

POSSIBLE COSTS

While taking Dual Enrollment Courses is relatively inexpensive when compared to normal college credit hours, there are some expenses involved.

Qualifying students receive a total of $1200 in dual enrollment grant scholarships. Two scholarships of $500.00 each will usually pay for two 3-hour classes. Students will then have a remaining $200 balance to be used toward a third class. However, students taking Biology 1110 or Calculus 1830 must realize that these are 4-hour courses, and students will need to pay for that extra college credit hour. Likewise, almost all courses will require the purchase or rental of a textbook. These textbooks can usually be purchased through the college's bookstore, from Amazon.com, or from a previous student in the class. Because finances are a private matter, Maryville High School is unable to assist with costs and payments. It is the responsibility of the student and parents to work with the colleges concerning all payments and costs.

Below are links to tuition costs at Maryville College, Pellissippi State and The University of Tennessee. Remember, tuition for the upcoming school year is usually not set until the summer; therefore, these costs are only estimates as to the costs for the 2018-2019 school year.

MARYVILLE COLLEGE

Maryville College is offering the four social studies courses listed under the Courses Tab at a cost of only the dual enrollment grant, plus the cost of a textbook. This is an exceptional offer. However, if students wish to take other courses, it is suggested they contact the Maryville College Office of Admissions to discuss the cost of individual college credit hours.

Also, seniors will be required to take economics and government. However, students may also take up to 7 of these classes as dual enrollment courses where they are earning college credit along with high school credit. Students who have ACT subscores of 19 or higher in English and reading, along with a 3.0 unweighted G.P.A., have the privilege of earning college credit while still enrolled in high school. These courses will be offered at Maryville College, the Pellissippi State campus located on Highway 321, Roane State (These classes are offered on the M.H.S. campus only.), and the University of Tennessee. Likewise, students can receive a maximum of 2 $500.00 grants during their high school tenure, plus an extra $200.00 to be applied toward a third class.) These scholarships are provided through the Lottery Corporation. Students wishing to pursue college credit courses must meet several criteria:

A. 19 or higher on all ACT subscores and composite
B. 3.0 unweighted G.P.A.

While Maryville High School is able to offer assistance to students with admission, scheduling, and grants, payment of college tuition and state educators' discounts are the responsibility of the parents and students and are private matters between the family and the college or university. Therefore, the faculty and staff of Maryville High School cannot enter into financial discussions.

Students enrolled in college courses which are not on the M.H.S. campus will follow the college's rules and schedules. On the days and times students are not on the college campus, they will report for their normal high school classes at Maryville High School, following the rules and schedules of M.H.S. Students must remember that the college's fall and spring breaks, as well as snow days, may not be the same as those followed by M.H.S. Therefore, students will need to be aware and follow the appropriate schedules.

**In order to be eligible to participate in high school sports, students must pass 6 block courses the previous year; therefore, athletes must pass their college courses to remain eligible.
