Free — takes 30 seconds

Your student.

Grade, unweighted GPA if known, any PSAT/SAT/ACT/PERT scores, the district and high school, whether the school offers AP/IB/AICE/CAPE, and what the student is aiming for.

Free. Takes a few seconds.

Why this exists

The state will pay for a year of college before graduation. The counselor has 400 students.

Dual enrollment is free — tuition, fees, books — for any Florida public-school student who meets the GPA and takes a placement test. AP and AICE credits are guaranteed at every public college. Families who know ask in 10th grade; families who don't pay full price in college. This tells you which paths fit and what to say.

How it works

Common questions

Is dual enrollment actually free for my child?

Yes — Florida's dual enrollment law (Fla. Stat. 1007.271) says public-school students pay no tuition or fees, and the district provides the textbooks at no cost. Eligibility also requires a minimum GPA and a qualifying placement-test score, so confirm the current figures with the counselor and the college. This tool explains the program in plain language but is not academic advice.

Is this tool really free, and is what I type stored?

The tool's own lede says no account is needed and nothing you type is stored. It also lists paid options on the site — a $4.99 Semester plan for one student and a $49-per-month plan for youth programs and PTAs — so check which version you're using. Either way, it's not academic advice and doesn't replace the counselor.

What GPA and test score do I need to qualify for dual enrollment?

The material states dual enrollment requires a minimum unweighted GPA — 3.0 for college-credit courses, 2.0 for career-certificate courses — plus a qualifying score on the PERT, SAT, ACT or CLT, along with high-school and college approval. These thresholds are set by the state and can change, so confirm the current figures with the counselor and FDOE's placement-testing page.

Will a dual-enrollment grade follow my child forever?

Yes — dual-enrollment courses are real college courses, so the grade posts to both the high-school transcript and a permanent college transcript. A D or F stays on that college record even after graduation. Some universities and competitive programs, including nursing, look at this GPA, so it's worth discussing the trade-offs with the counselor before enrolling.

What should I actually ask the school counselor?

Ask for a meeting and request: the dual-enrollment eligibility check, the district–college articulation course list, the next PERT testing date, the application deadline for the coming term, which AP/AICE courses the school offers plus the fee-reduction process, and whether early admission is possible senior year. This script comes from the tool's own counselor-question list — bring it in writing so nothing gets missed, and remember this is not a guarantee of admission or credit transfer.
