High school students may meet requirements for college admission if they fall into one of the following categories: dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, or summer enrollment.
Dual Enrollment
A dual enrollment student is a high school junior or senior who has been admitted to Delgado while still in high school to earn college credits and Carnegie units. Sophomores may be considered for dual enrollment in special circumstances. In accordance with Louisiana Department of Education provisions, the high school agrees that the dual enrollment student will also earn Carnegie units.
The Delgado Dual Enrollment Program provides an opportunity for high school students to start college while still attending high school. Students have greater access to a wide variety of rigorous academic and technical courses and can earn college credit for the courses they successfully complete. By earning college credit while still in high school, the student saves money and time on achieving a college degree and experiences a more seamless transition into college. Careers today demand more knowledge, critical thinking skills, and higher levels of technical education. Additionally, to compete in the global economy, a minimum of two years of college is necessary to meet the demands of industry and to earn a livable wage.
The Delgado Dual Enrollment Program prepares students to become tomorrow’s leaders through a rigorous and relevant curriculum that stresses high academic achievement. Students are prepared more effectively for higher education through their participation in “Career Clusters” and “Cohort Classes” that link high school coursework to advanced technical programs in the community or technical colleges and which may transfer to a baccalaureate program. Ideally, students will also develop the qualifications and certifications necessary to obtain employment in high demand professional careers.
In accordance with Louisiana Department of Education provisions, students eligible for this program may also be eligible for the Louisiana Tops Tech Early Start Funding, which pays for tuition for up to six (6) credit hours per semester; however, students are responsible for all applicable student fees, books for each course, and transportation.
Dual enrollment students must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- have written recommendation from the high school principal and parental approval on the completed concurrent/dual enrollment approval form;
- have maintained a “C” or higher average on all work pursued (six semesters) in high school;
- minimum ACT composite of 15 and/or take the Delgado Placement Assessment;
- complete the Delgado Dual Enrollment Application;
- provide copy of transcript if not available through the Student Transcript System (for private, parochial and home school applicants); and
