NFC recognizes the important role parents and guardians have in a student’s
educational career. Dual enrollment is an accelerated option for students who are
well prepared and ready for college level courses.
When considering dual enrollment for your child, evaluate organizational and time
management skills, as well as maturity. Dual enrollment courses are college courses
and the amount of work necessary to succeed in dual enrollment courses may be much
greater than in high school courses.
Students who successfully complete dual enrollment courses will save time and money
toward their college degree with free tuition and textbooks.
Dual enrollment is the start of a college transcript and will become part of a student’s
permanent record. Poor performance as a dual enrollment student can ultimately impact
one’s post secondary career, including acceptance to a state university, academic
standing and financial aid eligibility. It is important to do well in these courses
to realize all the benefits of dual enrollment.
Students are expected to work with their high school guidance counselor or Home Education
Official (parent/guardian) each term to ensure all high schoolrequirements for graduation are met.
All paperwork must include required signature.
Students will be expected to communicate with their instructors on a regular basis.
NFC expects all communication to begin with the instructor and the student. NFC follows
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to protect personal student
information as a college student, no matter their age. For more information visit:https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html
