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.

Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.):
3.0 unweighted high school GPA
College-ready reading and writing scores on an accepted college placement test

Associate in Science Degree (A.S.):
3.0 unweighted high school GPA 
College-ready reading and writing scores on an accepted college placement test

Note: Math scores must also be on file with EFSC, but the scores do not have to be college-ready for an A.A. or A.S. program unless the student plans to take a college-level math course such as MAT 1033, MAC 1105, or MGF 1130/31.
                             
College Credit Certificate (CCC):
2.5 unweighted high school GPA
Reading, writing and math scores on file from an accepted college placement test (For a CCC program, scores just have to be on file and do not have to meet the college-ready level)

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

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 agreements with these additional local schools.

1. Complete the High School Dual Enrollment online application by the established deadline, which can be viewed in the calendar dates shared through this page. 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 New Student Orientation to register for your EFSC classes. It provides you with information about college resources and tools, student services, academic policies and procedures, student safety and more.

To access the orientation and 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.

Locate the Student Orientation/Titan Preview icon in the app launcher. Clicking the icon will begin the orientation. If you cannot complete the process at one sitting, the system will remember where you left off and pick up there when you log back in through myEFSC. Once you have completed all sections, the Dual Enrollment Orientation hold will be removed from your account.

You must submit official college placement scores in reading, writing, and mathematics to enroll in college credit courses. (Developmental education courses are NOT college credit courses and under state law dual enrolled students are not allowed to take dev ed courses). Scores may not be more than 24 months old.

Students should request that the testing agency submit their official score report to EFSC.  

Students without college placement 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: Students do not score college-ready in one or more subject areas may retest two more times within twelve months of your initial testing session so long as there are 30 days between each testing appointment. To schedule a retest, visit the EFSC Testing webpage.

Log in to your myEFSC portal to see the name of your assigned EFSC advisor in the Student Services Appointment section. Follow the directions to schedule your advising session, making sure to select Dual Enrollment Advising from the Appointment icon's dropdown menu. You may also email the advisor directly to set a date. Important: Your record will show a “registration hold” until this requirement is met.

• View the Dual Enrollment course registration related dates. Dual enrollment students follow a specific timeline and must adhere to program deadlines.
• You should review your myGPS Degree Audit inside the myEFSC Portal for your "Plan" prepared by an EFSC advisor to assist with course registration. Watch a video about how to access and find your plan.
• Meet with your high school counselor and/or review your course plan in myGPS prior to the start of registration to select courses that meet your needs for your school schedule and high school graduation requirements.
• Students may self-register for their courses online. Registration must be completed in one session for all courses for the specified term. IMPORTANT: Dual enrollment students will be locked from making any changes to courses upon completion of registration. Watch a video on "How to Register for Courses Online."
• Students must meet all program and course prerequisites and are limited to 3 courses or 11 credits for the fall and spring terms unless they are in the Early Admission program. 11th and 12th grade students (students who have completed 10th or 11th grade and will be advancing to the next grade level in the upcoming academic year) are allowed to enroll in one course in the summer.
• Students who need to change their courses must see their school counselor. Schedule changes will only be made during the designated add/drop period for dual enrollment.
• View the Registration Details page for more information on this process.

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. Students who intend to park a vehicle on campus must purchase a parking decal.

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