Shikellamy High School - Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment

The high school offers a Dual Enrollment program. This state program permits high school students to take courses, at local higher education institutions, to earn college credits. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards high school graduation requirements and towards earning a college degree. The students continue to have full access to activities at their high school. The college credits are offered at a deeply discounted rate. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books. Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.

The program is offered in association with Susquehanna University and Bloomsburg University. Courses are offered locally.

For the 2009-10 funding year, the school district received a state grant of $27,922 for the program.

By Pennsylvania law, this program is open to students, residing in the district who are home schooled or attend nonpublic schools.
