    2) Dual Enrollment at Northampton County Community College, PSU Lehigh Valley and DeSales University.

    Students may attend college classes at any of these schools.  Students are responsible for the tuition.  Dual enrollment registration is done on-line through their website.

    Students must complete the Transcript Request form for the counselor to send the transcript to the college.  When accepted, students must bring in their course registration and meet with their counselor to determine how it will fit into their schedule.  

    For both options 1 and 2:

    Students are responsible for their own transportation.

    Students will receive high school credit but it will not be included in their GPA or class rank.  The college course does not count toward high school graduation requirements.

    It is the student’s responsibility to explore the transferability of these credits to the college they will be attending.
