Students who have never taken a class for dual credit must enroll with Rio Salado before applying.
This means that the student has been admitted to Rio Salado College, submitted a school picture ID, a copy of their Birth Certificate, completed the Parent's Consent Form, uploaded a high school transcript showing 2.6+GPA [Juniors & Seniors], or complete placement testing for all other grade levels BEFORE applying for Tuition Assistance. (Students can access their transcript with their GPA in StudentVue under Documents.)
New this year: There is no longer a "save progress" button, which means that students/families are encouraged to fully complete this application in one-sitting and have 45 minutes to do so.
Dual Enrollment courses allow high school students the ability to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously.
But that's not the only benefit of dual enrollment:
Easy transfer to many universities
Save money
Finish college faster
Eliminate duplication of coursework during the early years of college
Teachers are dual enrollment certified
