Here is a list of answers to frequently asked questions about Dual Enrollment.

What are the requirements for TCL’s Dual Enrollment program?

  • For the University Transfer track (i.e. English, history, social science, etc.), TCL requires students to hold a 3.0 cumulative GPA and have English 1 completed with a final average of B or higher. If students wish to take mathematics or laboratory science courses, they must provide proof of completion of Algebra 2 with a B average or higher.
  • For the Career & Technical Education track (i.e. HVAC, Culinary Arts, Criminal Justice, etc.), TCL requires students to hold a 2.5 cumulative GPA.
  • Individual schools/districts may have separate eligibility requirements for Dual Enrollment students – it is your responsibility to know your school/district’s eligibility requirements.

      How do I register for classes?

      • Public, Private, and Charter School Students: Complete your school/district’s Dual Enrollment packet, then meet with your school counselor to register for courses.
      • Homeschool and Online School Students: After submitting your high school transcript and enrollment paperwork, contact TCL’s Dual Enrollment & Early College Coordinator at dualenrollment@tcl.edu to register for courses.

      I receive accommodations/modifications through an IEP or 504 plan at my high school. How do I request accommodations for my Dual Enrollment courses at TCL?

      Students must contact our Disability Services department to request accommodations in Dual Enrollment courses; your accommodations are not automatically transferred to your TCL courses. Students are required to submit all documentation needed for our Disability Services department before the start of each semester. Students must contact Rodney Adams, the Disability Services Coordinator, at radams@tcl.edu to initiate the accommodations request process.

      I have AP exam scores that I want to submit for evaluation. How do I submit my AP scores?

      • You must send your official AP exam scores from College Board directly to TCL. Visit https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/sending-scores to send your scores. If you have any questions about the process, contact our Student Records department at srecords@tcl.edu for assistance.
      • Note: AP score reports will only be accepted if sent from College Board. Score reports provided by students will not be accepted.

            Do I need to earn a certain grade to pass my course and/or earn transferable college credit?

            Yes, to be successful in a TCL course means that you must earn a grade of A, B, or C. If your grade is a D or F, you must repeat the course. This means that if your intention is to take a sequence of courses like ENG 101 and ENG 102, if you make a grade of C or higher in ENG 101, you can progress to ENG 102.

            Note: Students who transfer to any college or university in South Carolina and who plan to take advantage of the LIFE Scholarship must maintain a 3.0 GPA for all college level coursework.

                How do I send my final grades to my high school?

                TCL’s Registrar will send your final grades to your high school within 10 days of the semester’s end. You do not need to request for your grades to be sent to your high school.

                My homeschool association requires a numeric grade for my high school transcript. How do I obtain my numeric grade?

                Per TCL policy, only alphabetical grades are reported to high schools. You must contact your instructor directly using your TCL student email account to request your numeric grade for a course.

                How can I send my transcript to another college/university?

                TCL does not automatically send transcripts when you graduate from high school. Students are responsible for ordering their official transcripts to be sent to other colleges and/or universities. TCL uses Parchment to send transcripts – order your transcript here.
