Collegiate High School/Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment and Collegiate High School students may take Honors courses with the instructor’s permission. If the students enroll in SFSC after graduating from high school, they may apply to the Honors Program. Once they are accepted, any Honors course they completed with a grade of A or B will be counted toward graduation from the Honors Program. Before high school students enroll in Honors courses, their high school guidance counselor should consult the Honors Program director or advisor.
