How to Dual Enroll: Public & Private School Students

Meet with a school counselor to determine if you are eligible for Dual Enrollment. Private school students must be enrolled in a school that has an articulation agreement with the College to participate.

Be sure you meet the minimum unweighted cumulative high school GPA and test score requirements for the EFSC program that interests you. Private school students should also consult with their school to determine potential costs associated with the Dual Enrollment Program.  

Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.):
3.0 unweighted high school GPA
College-ready reading and writing scores on the ACT, PERT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER NG

Associate in Science Degree (A.S.):
3.0 unweighted high school GPA 
College-ready reading and writing scores on the ACT, PERT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER NG
                             
College Credit Certificate (CCC):
2.5 unweighted high school GPA
College-ready reading and writing scores on the ACT, PERT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER NG

Career and Technical Certificate (CTC):
2.0 unweighted high school GPA

EFSC Partnership with Brevard Public Schools and Local Charter Schools

The BPS Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement is the official document between EFSC and Brevard Public Schools that outlines policies and procedures that guide the dual enrollment program for BPS students.

EFSC also has similar articulation agreements with Pineapple Cove Classical Academy and Odyssey Charter School.

1. Complete the High School Dual Enrollment online application by the established deadline. Spring Term 2024 students must have met the October 9th deadline to apply and completed admissions requirements by the October 19th deadline. You are exempt from paying the application fee.
2. If you are a public school student, the College will contact your high school for your transcript and the school will send it electronically to EFSC. Private school students should request their school send an official transcript to an EFSC Admissions Office.

You must have completed the online Dual Enrollment Orientation to register for your EFSC classes. To complete this requirement, log into the myEFSC portal. Refer to your acceptance letter for your Student email address and initial password required to log in.

After logging in, find the EFSC Student Application section (on the left on a desktop computer). Click the down arrow on the Application menu; scroll to “Dual Enrollment Student Orientation” and click “Launch”. When you have completed the last section of the Orientation, be sure to click the submit button.

You must submit official college placement scores in reading, writing, and mathematics to enroll in college credit courses. Scores may not be more than 24 months old.

The College must have an official test score report to use your ACT or SAT scores. EFSC recommends that students request that the testing agency send their ACT or SAT scores directly to EFSC when registering for the test. To submit your SAT scores to the College later, log in to your College Board account, download and save your score report, and submit the document through the myEFSC Portal using the Student Document Dropbox for Admissions.

Students without SAT or ACT scores may also test through EFSC. View the placement testing options, which include the online ACCUPLACER exam or the on-campus PERT.

IMPORTANT – EFSC Retesting Policy: Besides a GPA of at least 3.0, you must also have college-ready reading and writing scores to dual enroll in an Associate in Arts (A.A.), an Associate in Science (A.S.) or a College Credit Certificate (CCC) program. A college-ready math score is not required unless you plan to take a college-level math course such as MAT 1033, MAC 1105 or MGF 1106.

If you do not score college-ready in one or more subject areas on the PERT, you may retest two more times within twelve months of your initial testing session so long as there are 30 days between each testing appointment. While there is no charge for the initial placement test, there is a $10 retest fee for each subtest taken for a second or third time within this 12-month period. Once the 12-month period is completed, the testing cycle will begin again with the college administering the PERT once at no cost to the student and two more times with a retest charge of $10 per subtest.

Log in to your myEFSC portal to see the name of your assigned EFSC advisor in the Student Services Information section. Follow the information to schedule your advising session using the Navigate system. You may also email the advisor directly to set a date. Important: Your record will show a “registration hold” until this requirement is met.

Fees: EFSC waives tuition and fees in accordance with Florida Statute for students participating in Dual Enrollment. All students are responsible for paying the $10 per semester Wi-Fi/Print Access Fee. If you intend to park a vehicle on campus you must purchase a parking decal. Decals are $40 plus tax if bought in Fall Term for the Academic Year through the following Summer Term; or $20 plus tax if purchased during a Spring or Summer Term to cover those two terms. To avoid receiving a traffic citation and fine, purchase your parking permit by the end of the first week of classes and park only in student designated parking areas.

Starting with Fall Term 2023 the process for Public and Private school students to obtain their free required course instruction materials has changed. For private school students there is no longer a Private School Dual Enrollment Instructional Materials Agreement and a specified textbook distribution window.

Public and Private school students will automatically be enrolled in the Titan First Day Ready program at no charge and receive program communications to their Titan email from the Barnes and Noble College bookstore.

Public school, private school, and home education students are responsible for purchasing required consumable instructional materials that cannot be used by another student, such as lab coats, goggles, and personal tools.
