administration of the examination regardless of whether or not the student achieves a passing
score on the examination. [Florida Statute §1007.27(8)]

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)
Eligible secondary students may enroll in courses offered by the Advanced Placement Program
administered by the College Board. Postsecondary credit may be awarded to students who
score a minimum of three on a five-point scale on the corresponding AP Exam. Students shall
be exempt from any fees for administration of the examination, regardless of whether or not
the student achieves a passing score on the examination. [Florida Statute §1007.27(5)]

DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM
The Dual Enrollment Program is the enrollment of an eligible secondary student or Home
Education student in a postsecondary course creditable toward high school completion and a
career and technical certificate or an Associate or Baccalaureate Degree. [Florida Statute
§1007.271]

In accordance with Florida Statute § 1007.23(5), a Dual Enrollment Articulation Committee
made up of the SDPBC, Palm Beach State College, and Florida Atlantic University personnel, as
applicable, establishes rules, regulations, and policies of Dual Enrollment.

The Dual Enrollment Program provides an opportunity for students to simultaneously earn high
school and college credit. Course credit earned in college-level courses shall be counted as
college-level credit and may also be used to meet high school academic unit credit. Dual
Enrollment credit can be earned at Palm Beach State College, Florida Atlantic University, or any
other public institution of higher learning that has an established Dual Enrollment Articulation
Agreement with the SDPBC, pursuant to Florida Statute § 1007.271. Course credit earned in
these courses with a grade of “C” or better, shall transfer as college-level credit to a state
college/university in Florida. College credit is transferable to other colleges according to the
individual college guidelines and requirements. Where sufficient numbers of qualified students
have been identified, a college course may be offered at the local high school.
Some college courses equate to a 0.5 high school credit, while others equal one credit. All Dual
Enrollment grades shall be weighted 1.50 times the standard scale.
The Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement lists Dual Enrollment courses and credits meeting
specific subject area credit toward graduation. College courses equivalent to less than three
credit hours do not qualify for high school credit. Certain Dual Enrollment courses may be used
to satisfy specific required courses for graduation. (See the Florida Department of Education’s
