A collaborative agreement between Santa Fe College and SBCC for Dual Enrollment purposes.  This amendment to the longstanding agreement that will allow 10th graders at Keystone Heights Junior/Senior High School to participate in two Dual Enrollment courses. The agreement outlines policies pertaining to Dual Enrollment and the roles and responsibilities of each organization. Students may qualify in the fall of 10th grade to take one course, SLS1101, with a 3.0 cumulative unweighted GPA based upon at least 6 full high school credits, college-level scores on the CPT, PERT, SAT, or ACT in at least one area, a recommendation from a school faculty member, and the demonstration of the student’s maturity required to ensure success in a college class in a college environment.  If students receive a B or higher in the SLS1101 course, students may qualify to take one additional class, suggested by the School Board and approved by the College, in the spring of 10th grade.  Successfully earning a B or higher in the spring term will allow the student to continue in the program under the conditions of the Agreement.

Currently, 10th graders are unable to participate in Dual Enrollment coursework at Keystone Heights High School. This amendment will provide an opportunity for students to earn college credit beginning in the 10th grade. 

Clay County has had a positive working relationship with Santa Fe and this agreement benefits the students of the district by allowing them to earn both college credits and high school credits.  

Students participating in Dual Enrollment coursework at Keystone Heights Junior/Senior High School will be able to work towards their Associate of Arts degree at a more reasonable rate by taking Dual Enrollment beginning in the 10th grade.  

The District will work closely with Santa Fe College in order to better advise students on the postsecondary opportunities available to all students. Students who participate in Dual Enrollment courses will be accelerated in earning the Associate of the Arts degree.
