Dual Enrollment FAQs
When to apply?
High school students are encouraged to apply to CTC through our online application for the upcoming fall enrollment during their high school’s regular course registration dates (usually in Jan. – March.). Accepted students are notified in the spring (usually by April 1st).
How are students selected?
CTC selects high school students for dual enrollment in the spring based on specific program criteria which include: academic course history, grade point average, FCAT scores, attendance record, and faculty recommendations. Selected students are required to complete and return CTC registration materials and attend a mandatory Orientation Session. Parents are encouraged to attend the Orientation Session as well.
What times are dual classes?
Students attend CTC as part of their normal school day during one of three session times:
AM: 7:45-9:25am, MID-DAY: 10:35-12:05pm, or PM: 12:45- 2:25pm
Most students earn 3 credits each school year applied as electives towards their high school graduation requirements. Some courses fulfill the practical/fine arts credit requirement. Students typically earn 300 clock hours each school year that can be applied to the postsecondary program if the student is unable to finish the program while in high school.
Is transportation provided?
All Duals ride their normal school bus to their home high school and then bus transportation is provided for students who attend CHS and LBHS for the am and pm sessions. Students from PCHS walk to and from CTC except the pm students are provided transportation home from CTC.
Parking passes are available if students choose to drive.
Students are responsible for their own transportation in any programs that require them to be off campus such as clinicals, externships, and internships.
What are the costs?
There is no cost to high school students for tuition, textbooks, and lab fees. Students are responsible for uniform costs and any required background checks, health requirements, and industry certifications for specific programs. Financial assistance may be available to those who qualify.
