Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Eligible to Take Dual Enrollment?

Interested students must first take the college placement exam.  They must also meet the following criteria:
  • High school juniors or seniors attending a public or private school (exceptional freshman and sophomores may be eligible with approval from both high school principal and college president)
  • Meet or exceed college placement requirements
  • Receive a recommendation from a high school official
  • Parental consent provided prior to student enrollment

How Do I Sign Up?

  • Complete the RCC Application and return the Dual Enrollment (DE) Parent Consent Form to the counseling office. This form is due each year in March. The deadline for the 2024-2025 school year courses is March 29, 2024. Students may have to take an RCC placement test (VPT).  This test is available Monday through Thursday 4:00pm-8: 30 pm at the high school. NO SIGN UP REQUIRED. Just show up! (If you have taken an ACT or SAT, check with your counselor to see if it can be a substitute for the placement test). 
  • Pass the class with a C or higher.
  • If you think you have completed this process, please contact your counselor to be sure. Make sure you have completed steps 1-3 to avoid missing out on available college credits If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact your counselor. 


What if I Don’t Pass The VPT?

Students are allowed to attempt both the English and Math VPT tests two times in a calendar year.  If a student does not pass the test on both attempts, they will be moved to a suitable replacement class* or will not earn the college credits.

How Do Dual Enrollment Credits Work?  
Dual Enrollment students earn both high school and college credits.  Some high school credits are weighted and students must earn a grade of C or better to earn college credit.  RCC's transfer credits are part of the Associate of Arts and Science Degree.  TransferVirginia.org contains a tool for locating where courses will transfer.  Transfer classes such as ENG, HIS, BIO, MTH, and PSY are designed to be accepted at other colleges.  CTE courses are not usually intended to transfer.  There are exceptions, but that decision is made by individual colleges.

Additional information regarding weighted credits can be found in the Program of Studies.  Students requesting a transcript of dual enrollment courses should visit RCC Transcripts.
