The universities/colleges we are partnered with for dual credit classes require students to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. The higher level math courses require a benchmark of 18 on the ACT as well. 

When students met with their counselor during their scheduling of classes for the following school year, the criteria for eligibility was discussed with them.

Yes, you can drop your dual credit class. A student can drop the dual credit class completely or remain in the class for high school credit and drop the college credit part of the class.

You can drop the class up to the deadline of each semester.  See your Academic Calendar for the class.

There is a deadline to drop without receiving a W on your college transcript and then there is a deadline to drop the class and receive a W on your transcript. Those dates will be posted in your dual credit class syllabus. A W means withdrawing from the college course. This happens when a student is not passing the class and does not want to receive a failing grade for the college credit. If a student does not withdraw from the class and fails the class, this will be reflected on the college transcript. 

A student may withdraw from the college credit and remain in the class to receive high school credit upon passing the class. Once the student withdraws from the college portion of the class, even if they pass the high school portion, they WILL NOT receive college credit. 

If you decide you want to drop or withdraw the dual credit class, you need to do the following:

1. Talk with your teacher about why you want to drop the class. Do you want to remain in the class for high school credits only or do you want to completely drop the class?

2. Talk with your guidance counselor about your decision as it may impact your class schedule.

3. Your guidance counselor will email the College and Career Coach, Ms. Bates: pamela.bates@fayette.kyschools.us  and you will receive an email about how to drop the college portion of the class.

4. Complete the process, Ms. Bates provides you.
