Dual Enrollment
This program is designed for highly motivated juniors and seniors who choose to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school. Students earning dual credit receive three hours of college credit and one Carnegie unit of credit simultaneously, which requires approval in advance by the high school principal. All dual credit earned beyond what is offered through on-site courses at the high schools or Piedmont Technical College’s On DECK Program must be pre-approved by the principal (only courses on the CHE’s List of 86 will be considered). Courses must be taken during the regular school day (8:00a.m. – 3:30 p.m.) during the academic year (August – May). It is the responsibility of the parent and student to research if these courses will be transferred at the postsecondary institution they plan to attend.
Middle College
The Middle College program is a partnership between Piedmont Technical College and the School District of Newberry County that allows high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn 48+ college credit hours over the course of their high school career. Some of the courses are taken during the summer. Successful completion of this program will allow students to earn an Associate in Art. Students should check with their school counselor regarding the availability and details of this special program.
