Dual Enrollment Policies
1. Dual Enrollment is a privilege and not a right at Seffner Christian Academy. Students who are eligible may
request permission for dual enrollment at Hillsborough Community College in their junior or senior year.
Participation in this program is permitted according to the following guidelines:
Students must have a 3.5 weighted GPA and pass an entrance exam at HCC (CPT, SAT, or ACT).
It is the student’s responsibility to apply, obtain appropriate documentation, and register for the courses.
The Guidance Counselor or Administration of SCA is not responsible for the registration of students.
(please visit the SCA Academic Handbook and College Admissions Handbook for further policies and
procedures for dual enrollment).
All students wishing to dual enroll must receive a letter of permission from the school administrator.
Honors credit will be granted only if honors credit can be awarded in an equivalent class at SCA.
All classes will be counted in the student’s SCA GPA.
2. Other Dual Enrollment Policies
Students are only permitted to miss the first hour of the school day for dual enrollment classes. On days
that the student does not attend the dual-enrollment course, he/she must be present at school.
Each student must submit his/her Hawknet ID and password to the Academic Dean immediately upon
enrollment, to verify schedules, classes, and grades. It is also the responsibility of the student to turn in a
copy of their final grade report from HCC each semester to the guidance counselor for inclusion on their
transcript.
Failure of an SCA student to abide by school policies or if academic performance in SCA classes drops,
the student will be asked to drop the HCC class immediately and credit will not be awarded.
All SCA responsibilities and requirements will remain in place. Preferential treatment will not be given
when dual enrollment conflicts with SCA schedules.
All students are expected to be in regular attendance to her/his assigned classes at both institutions unless
excused according to SCA attendance guidelines.
If on a different schedule, when HCC is not in session, attendance at SCA is expected; when SCA is not in
session, attendance at HCC is expected.
