Dual Enrollment Checklist
Getting Started
Contact your high school counselor regarding your interest in dual enrollment. If home schooled, contact the Admissions and Records Office.
Application
Submit a completed application for admission to the College. Incomplete applications for admission or in-state applications usually delay acceptance. Read the application directions for more information.
Placement Testing
You must complete placement testing BEFORE you can register for classes. Some high schools do placement testing in their high school. Contact your high school counselor for information. For testing at LFCC, contact the Testing Center for testing dates and times at 540-868-7140 or toll free 800-906-5322, ext. 7140. (At the Fauquier Campus, call the counselor at 540-351-1507 to schedule an appointment for testing.) There is no fee for testing. You must have legal photo ID to complete the testing. This includes a state issued ID card available at the DMV, a driver's license, learner's permit or passport. High school identification cards are not accepted. Students with SAT scores of 500 verbal/500 math may waive placement testing. A copy of the SAT scores is required when registering for classes. Placement test scores are available on the unofficial transcript.
Registration for Courses
Dual enrollment students DO NOT register online.
For students taking courses at their high school:
Fall enrollment forms are purple, spring enrollment forms are yellow. You may obtain these forms from your high school guidance counselor. The form requires the signatures of the student, parent or guardian and the high school principal or designee. High school students age 18 or older are still required to have their parent/guardian’s signature. Completed forms are turned into the guidance counselor along with placement test score or SAT scores and tuition.
For students taking courses on an LFCC campus or online:
The enrollment form for all semesters is green and is available in the Admissions and Records Office or from your high school guidance office. Use the Web site or class schedule to obtain course information regarding specific days, times, and instructors. On-campus Dual Enrollment forms must be signed by the student, parent or guardian, the high school guidance counselor or principal (or designee) and an LFCC counselor. The Counselor will review your courses for accurate placement. You will not be permitted to enroll in courses unless the form is complete and has the appropriate signatures. High school students age 18 or older are still required to have their parent/guardian signature. Registration forms are turned in to the Admissions and Records Office in person. Enrollment forms are not to be mailed.
For home schooled students:
Home schooled students may dual enroll in classes on campus with the green enrollment form available in the Admissions and Records Office. Parents may sign as both the parent and the high school principal/counselor. An LFCC Counselor must also sign the green registration form. The Counselor will review your courses for accurate placement. Registration forms are turned in to the Admissions and Records Office in person. Enrollment forms are not to be mailed.
Home schooled students are to follow all of the above steps. They MUST also provide a copy of their Letter of Intent to the school division where they reside. In addition, in order to determine grade level, documentation of the previous year’s required Educational Testing results must be provided. These results would be as reported by the city/county school system where the student resides. A copy of the letter and test results will be attached to the enrollment form each semester the student enrolls. If a student does not have educational testing results because of religious exemption, the student and his/her parent or guardian will be required to meet with the appropriate Dean for approval of enrollment.
For ALL Dual Enrollment Students:
You will only be permitted to enroll in the courses designated on the form. A new form must be completed for each term. A copy of your SAT or placement test results must be attached. Dual enrollment students must register for credit-bearing courses only. Enrollment in developmental courses and auditing courses is not permitted. Students who are not in the 11th or 12th grade and a parent/guardian are required to meet with the appropriate LFCC Dean, who will sign the enrollment form, before they can be enrolled in classes.
Tuition, Textbooks and Supplies
Pay tuition and purchase required books and supplies. Once you have registered for courses, all tuition and fees must be paid by the established deadline or guaranteed to avoid your registration being voided (contact the College's Business Office to determine how to submit guarantee).
Beginning Classes
Check the schedule of course offerings to determine when each course for which you have registered begins and when it meets. Class attendance is necessary for success. For more information, call the Middletown Admissions and Records Office at 540-868-7106 or, toll free, at 1-800-906-5322, ext. 7106. At the Fauquier Campus call 540-351-1507.
Verify Registration
Login to "MY LFCC" and look at your unofficial transcript to make sure you are enrolled in the class you want. If the course is not listed, you are not enrolled and will not get a grade or credit for the class.
