| “Dual Enrollment” allows high school
students to meet the requirements for high school graduation while
simultaneously earning college credit. High school students under a dual
enrollment agreement usually must be high school juniors or seniors who
are sixteen years of age or older. Students usually must take the
COMPASS or ASSET test to determine readiness to enroll in college-level
courses. Eligible students can enroll and receive dual credit in
academic, fine arts, and vocational subject areas according to a formal
agreement between local school superintendents or boards and Patrick
Henry Community College.
College credit
shall be awarded by PHCC to the participating high school students upon
successful completion of the course. The award shall be in compliance
with state and regional accrediting standards. High school credit shall
also be awarded to the participating high school students upon
successful completion of the course. The award shall be based on the
college credit hour, with one high school unit equivalent to six
semester hours of college credit.
Any student attending high school who wishes to
attend the college concurrently to take credit classes must coordinate
consideration with the school guidance counselor and the college’s Dual
Enrollment Coordinator. The admissions office will evaluate the merits
of each case individually. Placement tests may be required depending on
desired courses.
Dual enrollment courses are generally offered
at the participating high school and meet the standards and criteria of
on-campus classes.

Below are some of the beginning photos of
a 1963 Ford Fairlane the students are restoring. Although there
is still some work to go...it's coming together! |
Here's what the Fairlane looks
like so far:
