A collaborative agreement between the St. Johns River State college and the SBCC for "dual Enrollment" purposes. The 2018-19 agreement allows for the continuation of a longstanding relationship between the two organizations.  This agreement allows Clay County students to enroll in college courses on the campuses of SJRSC and on each high school site.  The agreement outlines policies pertaining to Dual Enrollment and the roles and responsibilities of each entity.

Clay County has had a positive working relationship with SJRSC and the agreement benefits the students of the district by allowing them to earn both college credits and high school credits.  Thousands of students have earned these dual credits over the years, allowing students to accelerate their postsecondary work and to save parents/families money.  Total credit hours and financial costs for the 2017-18 year are:

Total Credit Hours

     Fall: 1945 Credit Hours

     Spring: 1968 Credit Hours

Cost to District:

     Fall: $143,024

     Spring: $144,680 

Total Cost: $287,704

Clay County students will continue to provide college level courses on the high school sites and to inform students of the opportunity to attend as full time students on the SJRSC sites.  It is expected that the total number of credit hours earned will slightly increase due to entering the second year of the Middleburg "Collegiate" site and the third year of the Orange Park site.

The District will work closely with SJRSC in order to better advise students on the postsecondary opportunities available to all students.  Students who successfully pass a course earn acceleration points for their home schools while preparing themselves for college level work.

Approval of the 2018-19 agreement between St. Johns River State College and School Board of Clay County.
