  • Please advise third attempts for Dual Enrollment courses are not permitted.
  • Dual Enrollment students are permitted to withdraw from one class during program participation. Students who incur two or more withdrawals will be dismissed from the program; however, they may complete any courses for which they are registered during the term in which the withdrawals occurred. Stay familiar with academic calendar for the drop and withdrawal deadlines for each term.

If your Valencia term GPA falls below 2.0 for two successive terms, you will be placed on academic probation resulting program dismissal and no longer eligible to enroll in Valencia courses. You may return to Valencia to pursue your educational goals after high school graduation.

High School Academic Standards

If your high school cumulative GPA falls below a 3.0, your Dual Enrollment participation will be suspended. Your school counselor must notify the Dual Enrollment Office when your unweighted high school GPA returns to a 3.0 or higher to be reinstated.
