Dual Enrollment is a coursework acceleration program that allows qualified secondary school students to begin postsecondary coursework while earning credits towards their high school diploma at the same time. Dual Enrollment is established by law (Florida Statute 1007.271) for public, private, charter, and home school secondary students. In addition to the academic opportunities, students enrolled for dual enrollment are exempt from the payment of tuition, registration, and laboratory fees pursuant to s. 1009.25, F.S. UWF currently has dual enrollment articulation agreements with Escambia County School Board, Santa Rosa County School Board, and Holmes County School Board. Additionally, UWF has articulation agreements with the following private schools: Aletheia Christian Academy, Trinitas Christian School, and Pensacola Private School of Liberal Arts. Homeschool students are required to complete an individual Articulation Agreement that is routed to the student during the application process. These articulation agreements outline the specifics of dual enrollment eligibility, participation, and funding requirements. More information concerning the payment of fees by the private school of school board/district may be found in the articulation agreements. Students are required to pay the annual Nautilus Card fee, and if driving to campus, the Parking Permit costs.

The Dual Enrollment application only has to be completed once unless there has been a period of nonattendance that is three consecutive semesters or more and the student still has dual enrollment eligibility.
    1. If the student is Homeschooled, we will require an Articulation Agreement on file, which will also satisfy the Dual Enrollment Application. This form is routed through Docusign for proper processing. 
  2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Approval Form‌ (.pdf) as verification that the GPA and test score requirements have been met. The Approval Form is also where requested courses are listed, and counselor signs to approve the student. The Dual Enrollment Approval Form has to be completed each semester a student is seeking to be registered as a dual enrollment student at UWF.
  3. Create an ArgoNet account in MyUWF.

Dual Enrollment student processing typically falls into two categories: new dual enrollment students and continuing dual enrollment students. New students are required to complete an application to be a dual enrollment student, and unless the student has a period of non-attendance of three consecutive semesters or more between dual enrollment registrations, the dual enrollment application will only need to be completed once. Upon successfully submitting the dual enrollment application, the next step is to submit the dual enrollment approval form. 

Continuing dual enrollment students will only have to submit the approval form, which will be required for each semester a student is seeking to be registered as a dual enrollment student. Upon graduation from secondary school, dual enrollment students will lose their eligibility. At this point, they will have to submit the degree-seeking application or non-degree seeking application to continue taking classes at UWF.
