Dual Enrollment Guide
CHEC Academy guides students entering 8th grade and up through the process of dual enrollment at Palm Beach State College (PBSC) and Southeastern University (SEU). Students take college classes for both college and high school credit for free. CHEC has designed its high school program to pair seamlessly with dual enrollment opportunities at PBSC and SEU, enabling students to meet all high school graduation requirements for college entrance, demonstrate a rigorous course load to university admissions, and earn college credit at no cost.
Students may even complete an AA degree or additional college-level credits by the time they graduate high school. Students enrolled in PBSC dual enrollment take these courses alongside their CHEC peers and participate in a dual enrollment guidance course at CHEC to help them navigate college coursework during their first semester. To be eligible for PBSC dual enrollment, students must have 4 high school credits (including Algebra 1 and English 1) and pass 1-3 sections of the Accuplacer exam (grade dependent). For SEU dual enrollment, students must be in 10th grade to participate, and no entrance exam is required.
