Steps for SCHS Dual Enrollment Students
Visit www.daytonastate.edu/dual-enrollment for more information. Reach out to your counselor with questions. You can also visit the state website www.fldoe.org/schools/k-12-public-schools/sss/graduation-requirements for information about how dual enrollment impacts graduation and college admissions.
STEP 1: Confirm Academic Eligibility
These are the requirements to dual enroll: 1) Have earned at least one high school credit 2) Meet the minimum cumulative, unweighted high school GPA: college credit programs 3.0/ vocational programs 2.0 3) Get the test score
STEP 2: Take the PERT, SAT, or ACT
- The PERT can be taken on the SCHS campus on specific dates. Visit www.sprucecreekhigh.com/academics/testing-information to see the dates and sign-up. You can also take the PERT at DSC once you have applied for dual enrollment if you need another opportunity. They accept walk ins (after you have filled out the dual enrollment application and have a six-digit ID) number at the main campus in Daytona, Building 100, Room 107.

STEP 4: New Student Advising
Schedule your virtual group new student advising session with Daytona State for an overview of the programs offered, how to select courses, important dates, dual enrollment guidelines, and your Dual Enrollment Form. Find the sign-up at www.daytonastate.edu/dual-enrollment
STEP 5: COMPLETE YOUR DUAL ENROLLMENT FORM TO REQUEST CLASSES
- You must complete a Dual Enrollment Course Request form each semester that you take classes. The form is found at www.daytonastate.edu/dual-enrollment. NOTE THE REGISTRATION DEADLINES. Spring is at the beginning of November. Fall and Summer is at the beginning of April. Search for the current semester academic calendar on the DSC website for specific dates each semester.
- Complete the form, take it to your SCHS counselor for them to sign, then you must scan it or take a photo and email it to DualEnrollment@DaytonaState.edu before the deadline to request the class.
- What classes do you choose? The new student advising session will help, but ALL students must take SLS 1122 Managing Your Success as a first course. Go to www.daytonastate.edu/dual-enrollment and click on their link for the Dual Enrollment Course Search Guide. Contact DSC advising if you need help. 386-506-3661.

STEP 6: Check Your FalconMail & Get Your DSC ID Number
All registration questions and confirmations will be sent to your DSC student email. Memorize or put your DSC student number into the notes on your phone as you will need that to get books and register moving forward. Visit the school media center once you have received confirmation of your enrollment to check out your textbooks. Continue to check your FalconMail weekly. Contact the DSC help desk for technical questions and account problems. 386-506-3950
STEP 7: Get Your Books and Access Codes from the SCHS Media Center
Once you have a confirmed schedule for DSC, you will visit the online DSC bookstore to determine what materials you will need for your classes. You can use your DSC ID to create an account and it will automatically pull your schedule and show you what you need. One week before courses start, visit the Spruce Creek High media center with screenshots or the website pulled up showing what you need to get your materials or to receive a voucher to purchase them from the DSC bookstore if we do not have the materials available. All DSC materials, including those you pick up from the DSC bookstore with a voucher, are returned to the SCHS media center within one week of the end of the course or you will be charged for them.
STEP 8: Take the Classes and Move Forward With Your Future!
Things to Consider Before Signing Up for Dual Enrollment
- You will be a college student and you will need to communicate with DSC when you need their assistance.
- Dual enrolled students are limited to 2 fully online courses per 15-week semester.
- New dual enrollment students can only start during Fall or Spring semesters, not the summer.
- All courses taken at DSC will become a part of the student's permanent college transcript.
- Course materials and class discussions may involve mature topics not typically included in secondary courses. Courses are not modified to accommodate variations in student age and maturity. You will be in classes with DSC students of all ages, including adults.
- DSC professors and advisors can only communicate with the student, not the parent.
- We do not recommend students duplicating potential credit you are earning from AP or IB classes on campus. If you are involved in AP or IB and want to add DSC classes, be sure to research what credit your chosen colleges offer for your AP and IB test scores before choosing DSC classes.
