Early College FAQs

What is dual enrollment in high school?
Dual enrollment means that you are enrolled in both high school and college classes. Dual enrollment allows you to take college-level courses in high school to gain credit for high school and college courses. That means you can complete schoolwork once and receive double the credit.

For example, you will need to take 11th grade English to graduate high school. At the college level, you need Composition and Modern English 1 (ENG 1101). If you enroll in and complete ENG 1101 at 快猫成版视频, you will obtain your 11th grade English grade and your college-level English credit.
What are the benefits of dual enrollment programs?
Dual enrollment programs provide many benefits. In addition to earning both high school and college credit, you'll get a head start on your college career, allowing you to potentially finish early and save on tuition costs. You'll also get prepared for college, learning what a college class is like before you graduate high school. 

At 快猫成版视频, you'll be able to choose from a range of challenging and exciting courses. These classes give you the opportunity to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. You'll also be able to network with professors and other students, making connections that could benefit you in college and in your career.
Are there any deadlines?
All student paperwork must be submitted to the Dual Enrollment Coordinator no later than 5:00 p.m. the Wednesday before classes start. This includes the registration request form. These documents should be emailed to dualenrollment@troy.edu. Upcoming deadlines for admission and registration are as follows:

  • Term 1 2024: August 7
  • Term 2 2024: October 9
  • Term 3 2025: January 8
  • Term 4 2025: March 19
  • Term 5 2025: May 21
What dual enrollment classes should I take in high school?
There are several dual enrollment classes you can take in high school, but some of the most common include English Composition 1 and 2, Intro to Psychology, Principles of Biology and Biology Lab, Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics and Applied Fitness Concepts.
Can you take dual enrollment classes online?
Yes, TROY offers dual enrollment online.
Do dual enrollment classes affect high school GPA?
Yes, dual enrollment classes can affect your GPA; however, our program has a high success rate.
What's the difference between a dual enrollment course and an AP course?
There are several differences between dual enrollment and Advanced Placement (AP) classes. A dual enrollment course is a college class taught by a TROY faculty member and AP classes are taught by high school teachers. When you finish a dual enrollment course, you will not have to take the course again in college, whereas you might need to with an AP course.

When you successfully complete your dual enrollment course, you will earn both high school and college credit. For AP classes, you will only earn college credit if you do well on the AP exam. You'll receive a separate high school transcript and college transcript for each school.
How many college credits can you earn in high school?
Individual colleges may have different parameters for how many credits you can earn while in high school. TROY's early enrollment program allows you to earn several credits while still in high school. Some students even earn their associate degree (60 credit hours) and then continue on at 快猫成版视频 to obtain their bachelor's. If you're interested in the Early College program, we encourage you to consult your college(s) of interest to determine if they have a cap on the number of college credits you can earn before graduating high school.
Does dual enrollment count as attending college?
Individual colleges may have different perspectives of the dual enrollment student. At 快猫成版视频, we consider you a college student earning college credit. However, you will still be considered as having freshman status after high school graduation, which means you will still be eligible for freshman scholarships.
Will dual enrollment credits transfer to the college of my choice?
The dual enrollment courses available through TROY's Early College are designed to transfer to any college or university. They can be used to satisfy the general education core requirement at the freshman or sophomore level of college. If you have questions about the transferability of your credits, check with the Program Coordinator.
Is dual enrollment difficult?
Dual enrollment classes are college-level and, therefore, college-level work. Like your high school classes, some classes may come easier to you than others. One of the biggest challenges students face with dual enrollment is managing their time. Time management skills are often mastered during your first dual enrollment course, allowing for success in your future courses.
How much does the Early College program cost?
The cost for tuition is $33/credit hour for students living in Alabama or a county in Florida or Georgia that qualifies for in-state tuition. 

The cost for tuition is $145/credit hour for students living outside of Alabama.

There is a one-time $30 application fee. You will also pay for books. While book prices vary, $100 per course is a generous estimate.
