Dual Enrollment

Withdrawal Policy

Dual enrollment students are permitted one withdrawal during participation in the program. Receiving more than one withdrawal will result in dismissal from the program.

Students should meet with their professor and Student Success Coach before withdrawing from a course. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from a course(s) on or before the published Withdrawal Deadline listed in the Academic Calendar.

Students who withdraw from a course but are enrolled in other courses for the term are expected to complete the remaining registered courses.

Students receive a warning email after the first and only permitted withdrawal.

Students and school counselors are notified when the student has accrued more than one withdrawal and is dismissed from the program.

Review the Course Registration page to learn more about Adding and Removing courses.

Eligible School Enrollment

All students must remain enrolled in an eligible school or home education program to participate in the dual enrollment.

Eligible Schools

• Orange or Osceola county public or charter school
• Select private schools
• Registered with the Orange or Osceola county home education office

Students are responsible for notifying the Dual Enrollment Office if they change schools or are no longer enrolled at an eligible school. If a student is no longer enrolled at an eligible school, they are responsible for dropping or withdrawing from enrolled VC courses by the respective deadline found in the Academic Calendar.

Satisfying Valencia Degree Requirements

Once a student has met all academic requirements and is awarded the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree, they are no longer eligible to participate in dual enrollment or enroll in additional dual enrollment courses. Students should consult their school counselor to discuss available schedule options for the remainder of their high school enrollment.
