<p>I'm taking two Dual Enrollment classes this year. </p>
<p>One of them is for 6 political science credits (PLS 211 and PLS 212) and the other probably doesn't count for anything in my case (it counts towards a 2-year program, but may possibly be a 1 credit elective for a four-year program. I have to ask my teacher.).</p>
<p>Now, how do I put this on the common app?</p>
<p>Do I put the classes in both the "Current Year Schedule" section and the "College Courses" section?</p>
<p>I didn't think there was an option for community college courses in "College Courses" part, but I just want to make sure I don't screw up my app...</p>
<p>So...do I mention the specific classes in the additional information section?</p>
<p>I believe colleges never see the current schedule section, that’s just for comapp’s survey purposes (colleges would see your classes on your hs transcript). I took a couple of CC classes over the summer and am currently taking a math class there as well; I put them in the college courses section and mentioned the specific classes in additional info. Don’t forget to send the schools a copy of your college transcript as well.</p>
<p>But, if you put Dual Enrollment classes as College Courses won’t that classify the student as a transfer student instead of a High School (Dual Enrolled) applying as a freshman?</p>
<p>In the end, it doesn’t really matter where you include this information as long as colleges can discern that these are dual enrollment courses–and the responsibility for making that explicit really falls on your high school, not on you. Your high school should be using your transcript and school profile to explain the unique nature of these courses.</p>
<p>It’s important to remember that there is some information on the Common App that is intended to be verified by official documents–most notably coursework and test scores. The application asks students to self-report this information so the colleges can follow up if something is missing from the file, but they do not accept such self-reported data without official confirmation of some sort.</p>
<p>You can probably put them in both places, then explain in the Additional Info area that they are dual enrollment courses.</p>
<p>Mom at home: putting college courses on an app does not make you a transfer student. Most colleges have guidelines based on the number of college credits you have to help determine if you are technically a first-year or transfer student. Suffice to say that if you are an applicant still in high school then you are a first-year applicant.</p>
<p>Well, only problem is, I couldn’t locate my CC on the search. So, I guess I’ll just put it in the additional info section?</p>
<p>Also, I have them listed in my current year schedule. The classes are formally called “Dual Enrollment such and such,” so it doesn’t really need too much clarification.</p>
