Harper Creek High School

• The student is ready for a college experience
• Students are responsible for their own transportation

• Student attendance records do not indicate a history of truancy (more than 10 days)
• Students must have received a qualifying score on at least one of the following tests: MME, ACT, SAT, PSAT or Next Generation
• Dual enrollment courses may not replace any courses required or offered by the district. An exception to this is if the administration determines there is a scheduling conflict beyond the student's control
• The dual enrollment course may NOT be in the subject area of physical education, theology, divinity, or religious education; hobby and recreational courses are prohibited as well.
• Students must take all state and district assessments during scheduled times. This includes but is not limited to, the M-STEP, PSAT, SAT, NWEA and final exams.
• If students have previously failed a dual enrollment course, the cost of the course must be paid back before you are eligible to take another.
• Failing or withdrawing from a dual enrollment class could negatively affect eligibility for federal financial aid following graduation.
• It is the student's responsibility to communicate with their college instructor if they are going to miss a dual-enrolled course regardless of the reason (illness, state-testing, final exams, etc.)
• If textbooks are not returned within 3 days of completion of the class, the student is responsible for the cost of the book
• There is an allotted amount that HC will pay for the dual-enrolled course. Should your course exceed that amount, the student is responsible for the remaining balance. 
• The HCHS schedule takes priority over dual enrolled courses. Should a dual-enrolled course conflict with a HCHS schedule, it is the student's responsibility to adjust their dual-enrolled courses. This may mean finding a new section, finding a new class altogether or not dual enrolling at all.
• If students need assistance in adjusting dual-enrolled schedules, they must contact their college advisor. This also includes planning for post-secondary transferable credits.

Meet with School Counselor Again
-Students may begin to register for classes when it opens for their intended semester (typically early June for Fall semester, and late October for Spring semester)
-Students should meet with their School Counselor to make sure that registration is open and to discuss which KCC class(es) they will schedule
- For information on choosing a course, please review the information here, and discuss your choices with your School Counselor
-School Counselors MUST know which classes and sections the student registered. We send over authorization paperwork to KCC. Without this paperwork, the student can be dropped from the class. 
-Submit the Dual Enrollment Agreement if you have not yet done so 

Register for Class(es)
-After their School Counselor knows which classes the student plans on registering for the student can register if they have not already done so.
-Students MUST make sure you have followed all the steps to Register rather than just Plan the courses on your Schedule. Planning a course on your schedule does not register you. Please review the resources above or check with your School Counselor if you are uncertain about this.
