  1. Be enrolled in a high school that has a current dual enrollment agreement with GFC MSU. Home-schooled students may enroll through the school district in which you reside. Click here for a list of high schools with current dual enrollment agreements.
  2. Be at least 16 years of age or a high school junior.
  3. Have successfully completed the required high school classes at your grade level and be on track for high school graduation. Note: if you have graduated from high school, you are not eligible for CE.
  4. Some DE classes may require qualifying placement test scores such as the ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer test OR other prerequisites set by the college or high school.
  5. Have approval signatures of a parent or guardian, high school official, and designated college official.

In addition to the basic qualifications for dual enrollment, you need to be realistic about taking a college class while you are still in high school. You’ll have one foot in high school and one in college and that can be a lot to manage.
