<p>Hey guys. I'm in the class of 2016 and the way that things work out, I will be doing a dual enrollment at my local university my senior year while I still have one class at my high school. I also would like to take one class at that same university the summer before my senior year, which means that classes at university will start for me in the summer of 2015; so about 2 years from now. My question is to those of you who have gone through the process of beginning dual enrollment. How soon should I start appointments with the university's admissions department and their financial aid department (I don't wanna pay full price :D ) to figure out what steps I need to take? Also, is there any type of federal or private scholarships given to high schoolers that dual enroll that I should know of? </p>
<p>In Ohio dual enrollment is free. It’s the only good thing about living here. So I don’t know anything about the finances of it.</p>
<p>But I started thinking about dual enrollment a couple months ago, and the application deadline for the fall semester was in May/Juneish. Before that, I had to make sure I’d be meeting all the graduation requirements at my school so I wouldn’t have to try and meet them through dual enrollment classes.
There’s probably no harm in calling them now to see what they say. You could start by talking to your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>In VA duel enrollment is also free but you have to take and pass the community college’s math and English entrance exams in order to receive credit for taking the class regardless of your grade in said class. Also, we have the classes at our high school unless you get accepted into Governor’s school for junior and senior year, which is what I’m doing; in that case you go to the community college for the first half of the day and take 4 college level/ duel enrollment classes a year there.</p>
