Dual Enrollment

Personalized Education Plan recipients must provide the PEP scholarship award letter for the current academic year at the time of submitting the dual enrollment application. 

• Scholarship award letter must include the student's full name, academic year, and award identification number
• Award letter may be obtained from the student's StepUp student portal
• Documentation other than the scholarship award letter will not be accepted

All PEP recipients participating in dual enrollment are required to submit a PEP articulation agreement before the start of each school year along with a scholarship award letter for the upcoming academic year. The PEP articulation agreement will be sent to the student's VC email with instructions and the deadline to submit agreement to the Dual Enrollment Office.
