ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
High school student eligibility to participate in dual credit courses may vary in accordance with NCMC’s admission standards. For all institutions however, all students must have a minimum, non-weighted, cumulative, high school grade-point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or the equivalent, and be recommended by the high school principal or his or her official designee. If your school uses a scale other than 4.0, we will use the following formula for calculating entrance requirements: Divide the GPA by 2.75. Example: 9.2 (on an 11.0 scale) divided by 2.75 = 3.34 (converted to a 4.0 scale.)
High school students must also meet the same requirements for admission to individual courses (e.g., English or mathematics) as those required of on-campus students (e.g., ACT, ASSET, COMPASS, PLAN, or other placement test scores). Specific placement tests may not be required for admission to some college courses.
