UWF is pleased to welcome high-achieving secondary students into college courses through dual enrollment. Dual enrollment is a coursework acceleration program that allows qualified students to take college courses while simultaneously satisfying high school graduation requirements—without paying tuition.
Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment at UWF
Dual Enrollment is established by law (Florida Statute 1007.271) for public, private, charter, and home-school secondary students. Students must attend a school (public or private) with a signed, current articulation agreement in order to register as a dual enrollment student at UWF. Home-school students must complete an individual articulation agreement sent to the student during the application process.
Dual Enrollment Agreements
These agreements outline the specifics of eligibility, participation, funding requirements, and the payment of fees by the private school of school board/district.
How to Become a Dual Enrollment Student at UWF
Meet Admission Requirements
The first step toward becoming a dual enrollment student is meeting with your high school counselor to discuss academic requirements, scheduling, and expectations, and determine your eligibility. Requirements include:
- Attained grade level of at least sixth through 12th, Florida Statute 1007.271(2).
- Earned a minimum of no less than three high school core academic credits.
- Possess a minimum, unweighted GPA of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale.
- Have already taken the SAT, ACT, or PERT exams for a course that would require academic placement:
- SAT minimum scores: Reading and Writing-490; Math-480
- ACT minimum scores: Reading-19; English-17; Math-19
- PERT minimum Scores: Reading-106; Writing-103; Math-114
Apply
- Apply for dual enrollment for the semester you want to start. Emails about your application and next steps will be sent to the address on your application. Please use a permanent, personal email and not a school email, as some school accounts may block external messages. You will only complete the DE application once if you do not take a break of more than two semesters.
- Submit your completed Dual Enrollment Approval Form. Consult with your school counselor each semester to identify the class(es) you want to take. We recommend choosing a couple of backup classes in case your first choices are full. Be sure to review dual enrollment dates and deadlines and course registration information.
- Create an ArgoNet account in MyUWF. Once UWF emails you to confirm receipt of your dual enrollment application, follow the instructions included in the email to create your ArgoNet account.
- Submit your required immunization documents in the Immunization Status app. You will use your ArgoNet credentials to log in. This must be completed before you can be registered for classes.
