Converting Dual Enrollment College Credits to High School Credits

E-mail Print PDF

If you homeschool in the state of Florida and your child will attend a college located in the state of Florida, converting college credits earned through dual-enrollment to high school credits on your homeschool transcript is straight forward once you know where to look! Here is a link telling you how much credit can be awarded according to the State of Florida. It is complemented by the Dual Enrollment Equivalency List (updated in July 2008).

Not all college credits convert to high school credit in a similar manner. For example a one semester English Composition I (3 units) course is considered equivalent to one full high school credit. Conversely, a college science lecture class (3 units) plus a science laboratory class (1 unit), where two separate grades are issued by a college, is equivalent when combined to one high school credit. While a one semester long calculus and analytic geometry course (5 units) is only awarded a one high school credit. The credits are course specific. Follow these guidelines and you will be able to ensure your child meets the necessary credit distribution guidelines for the various Bright Futures scholarships, entry to community colleges and state universities.

However, it your child is planning on attending a college outside of the State of Florida, you have much leaway in the conversion of college credits to high school credits. This appears to be an area without consistency and is left to the discretion of homeschooling parents when creating transcripts.
