<p>Does save you time and money?</p>
<p>does it** :]</p>
<p>I signed up for duel enrollment next semester, but I don't really know too much about it. I do know that the school district pays for the courses, so I'm guessing it would save money. The problem is that some colleges won't transfer credit from other colleges. I do it anyways because I need three years in math to graduate high school...</p>
<p>Defenatly saves you money. Concurrent Enrollment is cheeper than full time in most places.</p>
<p>And come on: do you seriously think showing that you have taken college level classes already is going to hurt? it shows you are comfortable with the way College works, you can handel the work, and are motivated to go above and beyond the usual. Colleges love that sort of thing :)</p>
<p>Even if it doesnt transfer credit it is SO worth the extra help for admissions I think.</p>

<p>at my school, even if you take all of your classes at community college, the school district will pay for it, so it definitely saves money. you can check with the 4 year colleges you are planning on applying to and see if they accept transfer credit.</p>
<p>I've done duel enrollment on-and-off since 9th grade and will have over a semester's worth of college-level units complete by the end of HS. Whether it will save me any money is questionable - depending on which colleges I get admitted to, I may just end up paying for more advanced courses anyway.</p>
<p>Yeah.. I have qs. about that. I take Spanish 2 this semester. If I don't want to take Spanish 3 next sem, can I take it at a comm. college?(during summer) Im a soph if that matters.</p>
<p>Sorry to be an ass, but does anyone here know how to spell "dual"?</p>
<p>Back on track...</p>
<p>It's cheaper and in many cases free or near-free and gets you direct college credit (if you pass of course). Why not take it?</p>
<p>In Washington, almost each school pays for max of 18 credits in quarter at community college. The du*e*l enrollment only works with 11th and 12th grade.</p>
<p>I think it's the ideal variant:
- flexible schedule and consequently no need to wake up early+possibility to attend research meetings.
- you still are playing sports with school team.
- classes are hard and interesting (probably).</p>
<p>It's spelled "dual", not "duel" :D .</p>
<p>In Florida, you can earn as many credits and take as many CC classes as you want without having to pay a dime. And nearly all of the colleges in Florida would accept my CC credit if I were to dual-enroll, especially state colleges. Many students in my county have graduated with both an AA degree and a high school degree at their high school graduation.</p>
