last year. Early admission students are not eligible for recognition as valedictorian or
salutatorian.
Early admission may be a form of Dual Enrollment; thus tuition and book fees are waived, as
specified under a Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement between the SDPBC, Palm Beach
State College, Florida Atlantic University, or other public institution of higher learning pursuant
to State law. [Florida Statute § 1007.27]

To qualify for early admission, a student must meet the following criteria:

1. have a GPA of 3.2;
2. be accepted by an accredited college, university, or career center as a full-time student
[Florida Statute §1007.271(7)];

3. successfully complete a minimum of six semesters of high school work for a student who
selected the 24-Credit Graduation Option;
4. successfully complete a minimum of four semesters of high school work for a student who
selected the 18-Credit Graduation Option;
5. enroll in the postsecondary institution as a full-time student (at least 12 credit hours) and
maintain full-time status, per the Dual Enrollment Articulation Agreement between the
School District, Florida Atlantic University, and Palm Beach State College;

6. enroll in college courses equivalent to remaining graduation requirements, per the Dual
Enrollment Articulation Agreement between the SDPBC, Palm Beach State College, and
Florida Atlantic University [Florida Statute § 1007.27(5)]; and

7. maintain a minimum “C” average both cumulatively and per semester.

A student may be eligible to continue as an Early Admission student if he/she withdraws from a
course provided that a full-time status of 12 credit hours is maintained. However, a grade of
“W” will be added to the high school and college transcripts. (Refer to FLDOE Dual Enrollment
FAQs for additional details.)

Students may select colleges or universities other than those that have Dual Enrollment
Agreements with the SDPBC. However, the parent(s) and/or student will be responsible for
payment of fees. All other statutory rights and privileges will be afforded these students as
those under Dual Enrollment Agreements. [Florida Statute §1007.27(5)]

Students must meet Early Admission eligibility criteria set forth by the District. [Dual Enrollment
