What is dual enrollment?

A dual enrollment program allows high school students to enroll in college courses and receive credit for them before they graduate. These credits can be applied to both high school and college graduation, and they can be transferred to other colleges and universities. Use our Course Equivalencies search to find out if college credit you have received will transfer to another college.

Will colleges give me credit for my career and technical program of study?

Some colleges will give you credit toward a technical field for career and technical programs of study taken at the high school level. Ask an advisor at the Career and Technology Center you attended to find out what opportunities are available.

Can I get credit for the AP courses I took in high school?

Advanced Placement, or AP Exam scores can justify an award of credit from the college that you attend. The score you received and the course itself will differ based on each institution. Use the Search PA Exam Credit to find out what credits you can get for AP Exams, or other standardized exams such as Cambridge International, International Baccalaureate, DSST, or Excelsior Examinations.
