I've been researching Spanish for my kids, I have read here and other places that the OSU classes were great etc. But I looked and with fees and out of area charges it was going to be like $3k per class. Is that what some of you are paying for one class? Hopefully I'm missing something. Please show me the error in my ways (maybe a link?) Other Spanish curriculum suggestions would be helpful too! I have 2 high school kids and a middle schooler who will be next in line, with zero Spanish experience but 2 years Memorial Press Latin. Edit: Our local community college is $100 per -
My son will be applying for dual enrollment at the local university near our home. I'm trying to get all his course descriptions completed now so I'm not losing my mind in January. When you write course descriptions, what tense is preferred? For example, for Honors Biology, do I say: "This course will cover cellular, viral, bacterial and genetics biology...."OR is it"This course covered cellular, viral, bacterial, and genetics biology"??? I realized that for classes he's taken at our co-op, I had just copied the teacher's descriptions without considering tense. Classes I've taught are written

We’re in Texas and my son will be a freshman next year. High schoolers here have the option for taking dual enrollment classes at local community colleges. I’m trying to figure out the best course of action. Has anyone’s kids taken a dual enrollment college class and then self reviewed to take the AP exam for that class? Seems like that'd be the "best of both worlds." Are AP classes better if applying to highly selective schools? Son will be applying for some selective out-of-state schools' programs but also many in-state. Dual enrollment seems better if you’re attending in-st -
Help! The following is requested from a University for Dual Enrollment: a statement from a teacher, counselor, or principal in support of the student's enrollment at University Is this a one line statement OR a 1 paragraph or more???? I have no idea what to write. Anybody with experience with dual enrollment counselor letters? -
I am working on FAFSA. I think the question is #29, where it asks you to say where you will be in college. It has a first-year-never-been-to-college and a first-year-been-to-college option. How would you handle this for a student who has done a dual enrollment class? Technically she HAS been to college, but perhaps dual enrollment does not count for the purpose of this question. Any thoughts?

Based on a recent string, I picked up that typically to get advanced credit or to show advanced course work students either do AP or DE. My DD18 graduated with an AA prior to going to a selective LAC. She took no APs. I recently learned that attaining the prescribed scores on a selection of AP exams will earn a student a credit. DE classes do not allow a student to earn a credit though it is possible to test out of certain requirements though credits are not awarded. Now I am trying to decide whether for DD16 who is in the same dual enrollment program it is beneficial to take one or more A

We're navigating the numerous options for grade 11 this fall for our oldest (uncharted territory for us). This occurred to me: 1) AP classes are a year long. 2) Colleges TYPICALLY give 3 credit hours for successful AP test scores (there are exceptions, depending on college, class and AP score). 3) Dual-enrollment college semesters in an equivalent subject (let's say US History) TYPICALLY are 3-credit hours (4 for sci/math). 4) Colleges TYPICALLY have minimum admission requirements of numbers of years in different subjects, with 4 years English/lit, 3 years social sciences inc. 1 of US hist -
Instead of watching the first NFL TV game yesterday (my team is already eliminated) I read some pertinent chapters from this study as was pointed out by Arcadia: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/574926-fyi-insights-and-recommendations-from-the-maa-national-study-of-college-calculus-2015/ If your future STEM student is using College Dual Enrollment to fulfill high school level material such as Precalculus you should read: Chapter 5 Placement and Student Performance in Calculus I page 60 " Precalculus as currently taught in most post-secondary institutions in the United States d -
Looking for classes that are offered as dual enrollment courses for highschoolers that are actually classically based. Looking particularly at the History, Lit., Bible and Rhetoric combo would be awesome! The only one I am aware of is Potters with Belhaven U. Anyone know of any others? Thanks for your help! -
My dd just completed an online course from Coursera: Data Analysis and Statistical Inference taught by a professor at Duke. Would you call this dual enrollment on your homemade transcript?

Can we talk about dual enrollment? We have an excellent JC nearby, and dd can start taking classes there at 14. It has been my intention to use the JC heavily during high school for outsourcing, verification of achievement level, and potentially even to collect transfer credits to the UC system, if dd decides to go that route. It is a more appealing option to me for a variety of reasons than the heavy AP/SAT2 testing route, and it's less expensive than many online options. I had assumed that we would use this for core subjects I didn't feel like I could do justice to at home. However, i -
My kids are now dual enrolled in some classes at university and the 990 hours for secondary are not going to add up with these classes since they are only meeting 3-4 hours a week for 14 weeks. Is there a solution that doesn't mean piling on more work in their non-dual enrollment classes? Should I just count hours? -
I've been following the thread on DE, and it has been so helpful. I was wondering if you might be willing to respond to my specific situation as well? My son is a rising senior.

Just curious if anyone else has run into the issue of CC limiting how many dual enrollment classes your student can take in a given semester. I just submitted all the paperwork for spring semester and dd was only registered for 2 of the 4 requested classes. I sent a nicely worded email to the administrator of her program thinking it was an oversight and was told that there is a limit of 2 courses per semester. They *might* be able to authorize 3, but she would need to check with the director. (Our state waives tuition and we are responsible for books and fees). We were told that ther

Hi Everyone, It appears that we just got a new unit cap for classes while attending a community college during highschool in California. Here is what it says on the form I have to use: Effective spring 2014, K-12 students are limited to 7 units in spring or fall term and 4 units in summer session. A student requesting enrollment in excess of these limits must petition to the Director of Enrollment Services and provide transcripts and written justification. See K-12 Minor Unit Petition. If the minor student is attending high school, the parent or guardian and -
DD is starting dual enrollment classes this fall at a local community college. The tuition is waived but we'll need to cover books, fees and incidentals. Can we claim these under The Lifetime Learning Credit? Also, does anyone know if high school students are allowed to get a campus job through the Federal Work Study program? Thanks! -

Our homeschool support group has been offered the opportunity to partner with Cedarville University in a dual enrollment program. Before signing a contract with the University, we would like to obtain both positive and negative feedback from former students and/or their parents. If you or someone you know has taken online courses at Cedarville for dual enrollment credit, please share your impressions with me. If you don't feel comfortable speaking about it publicly, please feel free to send me a private message here. Thanks so much, Angela

My older son, 15, is twice exceptional (gifted with learning disabilities), and I thought other parents might find it helpful to know how we've navigated college/dual enrollment with those disabilities. In short, we've found enormous support but accommodations don't solve everything. I'm glad to answer questions on this list, off list, or via my blog. Accommodating Disability, College Style -
...please help. So, DS is taking a course dual enrollment at the local cc. Turns out, he is not handling it very well. We have until the end of October to drop and leave no record. Of course, there will be no $ back. DH and I are trying to determine whether or not to drop. To drop: A C or below would look very bad in regards to potential 4-year colleges ?? (though he will probably go for an Associate's degree first) He cannot handle the class. (IMO mostly about executive thinking skills and laziness) $ is already gone, either way. To

Does anyone have children that attend a CC over the summer and knock out a class? With my dd's first foray into public school, I'm realizing she will not have the time to devote to her academics like she used to. By this I mean the hours spent outside the house are much, much higher than ever before. For example, marching band takes about 25 hours a week. Thankfully, it's only one semester, and then she'll take concert band at a reasonable 5 hours a week. She also has choir, which is usually 5 hours a week, although in the two weeks before a concert it blooms to 15 hours. This would -
Experienced student enrolled multi-schools (HSing & Reg School)
Guest posted a topic in Parents' Forum Networking Board
I am so pleased to have stumbled upon this group searching for homeschooling support resources. I was wondering if any one else has been or is in a similar situation of enrolling your child in multiple schools or supplementing day school with home instruction. I would love to hear about other family's experiences, tips and traps, time-management strategies and working with a teenager's ADHD. My story. This is my first year homeschooling while my 10th grader is also enrolled full-time in a regular CCC day school. She is also enrolled for a 1/2 unit Driver's Ed @ online, public schoo -
Has anyone been in a dual enrollment situation where your child goes to public/charter school part time and does homeschool also? I need to write a letter for my intent to dual enroll for the purpose of having an agreement with the charter school. This is not the same as the school district required form for homeschooling which I already have. Just need some ideas on the best wording for this. This is this charter school's 2nd year and the first having implemented a dual enrollment policy (pushed by me). In it they specify a need to create a "plan" including required participation in stud

After HS'ing K and 1st grade, we decided to try dual enrollment in a charter school mainly so I could have more time with the 4 and 1 year olds. I was hoping this would be the best of both worlds but although school doesn't even start until Monday, it is quickly looking like it's not going to work out at all. There have been so many issues trying to coordinate dual enrollment and testing in to 2nd grade due to Oct birthday. My experience with the administrators and the Board of Trustees has been a nightmare already culminating yesterday in their deleting my discussion posts from their Fa
