CASC is excited to announce that we are partnering with various colleges throughout the state to offer Dual Enrollment opportunities for our students!
To be eligible for dual enrollment, students must be in good standing and have a teacher recommendation and/or the approval of the School Counselor. If you are interested in participating in the dual enrollment program, please contact your School Counselor.
Dual credit courses, whether taken at the school site or off campus, are defined as those courses for which the student has received permission from CASC to take the courses and to receive both Carnegie units and credit at another institution. Permission must be obtained prior to taking these courses if they are to be considered for dual credit. Students who do not receive prior permission will not receive credit. Courses with a South Carolina End-of-Course Exam are not eligible to be taken via Dual Credit and must be taken with CASC.
South Carolina does offer a Lottery Tuition Assistance Program to help with the cost of the college courses. This program begins when students take six or more credit hours at the college or university. The LTA program does not pay for the full cost of the courses. Students and families are responsible for the remaining tuition cost as well as the cost of any books needed for the courses. Students will not be eligible for Federal Loan Assistance and will not need to complete the FAFSA form.
Dual credit courses may be applied toward the 24 units required for a state high school diploma for students in Grades 9-12. A three-semester hour college credit will transfer as 1 Carnegie unit. CASC will only permit dual credit for courses taught through accredited colleges and approved by the SC Department of Education. Students must arrange for a certified transcript to be sent to the high school from the college after a dual credit course has been completed. Students must complete a Dual Credit Enrollment Form before being considered for approval to take dual credit courses.
Enrollment in dual credit courses will be verified to ensure that students are enrolled in the minimum number of Carnegie units for their grade level. If a student includes the dual credit course in the minimum units required for his/her grade level and does not enroll or withdraws from the dual-credit course, additional courses must be scheduled at the home high school.
All final grades (including WF--see following page for explanation) as reported by the college on the transcript will be recorded in the student database system. When transcripts are received with letter grades recorded, the following conversion system will apply: A=95; B=85; C=75; D=65; F=51. Numerical grades lower than 60 that are indicated as a passing grade from the sending institution will be converted to a 65 and entered in the student database as a 65. Only the final grade reported on the college transcript will be entered in the student database and count in GPA calculations. Dual credit courses will not appear on student progress reports issued by the high schools. Any dual credit course in progress during second semester will not figure in GPA calculations at the end of 3rd nine weeks. Any awards/honors determined by the rank at the end of 3rd nine weeks will not have the grades for second semester dual credit courses included.
