College in the High School Courses / Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is described as an opportunity that allows high school and home school students to earn college credits for courses taken through a postsecondary institution while still attending high school.
Students will be enrolled in both the high school and the postsecondary institution. Students will have the opportunity to earn credit through Westmoreland County Community College (WCCC), The University of Pittsburgh and Seton Hill. In order to earn credit, students will need to register for that credit, pay the rate and earn a passing grade. Courses offered through Pitt will need to pass an entry exam in order to get credit for the class. Once the class is finished and teachers verify grades, an official transcript will be sent to the student from the institution.
To see if the CHS courses you take through Freeport will transfer to the institution you may transfer to, visit Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center at www.patrac.org. or visit the college/university website.
The District cannot guarantee college credit earned here through FAHS will transfer to your college/university of choice!
Cost per credit will be determined by each College or University. Cost per course will be approximately $300.00.
