Career & Technical Education Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment allows students to take courses at Orange Technical College (OTC) while still enrolled in high school. Dual enrollment programs prepare students for the workforce and continuing postsecondary education by focusing on technical skills and the attainment of relevant industry certifications. For GPA purposes, dual enrollment grades are weighted the same as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International Certification of Education courses.

Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 may attend an OTC campus for a half-day and earn elective credits toward a career. Students take a minimum of three elective credits to be dual enrolled at an OTC campus. This is a tuition free opportunity for public school students; however, materials costs, equipment, and/or uniform costs may apply. For more information about applying for dual enrollment at Orange Technical College, contact our Career Specialist, Dr. Robin Waldon at Robin.Waldon@ocps.net.

College Dual Enrollment

College dual enrollment is articulated acceleration coursework open to secondary students who are attending public high school.  To enroll in dual enrollment academic courses, students must demonstrate a readiness to successfully complete college level course work and have attained a qualifying grade point average.  For GPA purposes, dual enrollment grades are weighted the same as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International Certification of Education courses.  Determination of high school equivalency and high school credit awarded for postsecondary courses completed through dual enrollment is completed using the most current Dual Enrollment Course – High School Subject Area Equivalency document.  Dr. Phillips High School is proud to offer college dual enrollment opportunities through:
