DUAL ENROLLMENT

Qualifying high school students are eligible to enroll in more than fifty college courses. Students may choose from most of our 100-level or 200-level courses each semester. These courses will qualify for meeting credit requirements for a high school diploma in many schools and will also provide an opportunity for acquiring college credit.  Dual Enrollment students may also enroll in select associate degree programs, giving them the opportunity to finish high school with a college degree already completed.

Affordable. Flexible. Accredited.
Qualifications

Dual enrollment is limited to students at least 15 years of age who have not graduated from high school and who are under the age of 21.

Students must have earned a GPA of at least 2.5 in their most recent high school term. 

Students must have the deportment needed to independently navigate college-level courses in an online setting.

Application and Registration

High school students may apply for dual enrollment at the age of 14 but will not be able to enter their first course until the term that begins on or after their 15th birthday.

To apply, click Apply Now. Under “Application,” choose “Dual Enrollment” as your degree program.

Once your application has been accepted, you will be assigned to an advisor to help you through the remainder of the process and will be given access to the LMS where you will register for your classes. 

Tuition/Fees/Books

Tuition is only $100 per credit hour, which can be paid in four installments. Application, registration, and technology fees are waived for dual enrollment students. You will be able to view and pay for tuition on our Student Information System.

 

The textbooks for each course are listed on the Learning Management System. Students decide where they purchase their textbooks and other resources.

Schedule

All courses include a recorded lecture component. Each lecture is approximately 30 minutes with most modules having only 2 or 3 lectures per week. This provides the greatest flexibility for our students. 

Pre-recorded lectures allow our instructors to provide substantial feedback on assignments and to spend more time with individual students as needed, ensuring that one student does not get lost in a crowd.

Grades and Grade Reporting

Students have access to their grades and semester averages on a daily basis through the Learning Mangement System.  Final grades are sent to the school at the end of the term in the form of an official transcript.

Internet Access and Email

All students enrolled in courses at VBC are expected to have regular access to a high-speed internet connection in order to be able to stream session recordings.

All quizzes and tests are taken online through the Learning Mangement System (LMS).

All document transfer and grade reporting are completed through the LMS as well.

Most communication from the college office and instructors takes place via e-mail.

Students will be given a VBC e-mail address. Students should check this e-mail and the LMS for announcements daily.
