Students who are registered for dual enrollment courses will have three grades per semester recorded on their high school transcript. Therefore, students need to be very dedicated to their best performance in PTC coursework because the resulting grades can greatly impact postsecondary education opportunities and scholarship opportunities.

In order to take Dual Enrollment classes at PTC during the fall and spring semester, students must:

Be at least 16 years old and entering their junior or senior year in high school
Have a minimum cumulative unweighted GPA of 2.0, or 2.5 GPA for medical-related programs
Show responsibility through high school attendance and behavior.
Obtain a Dual Enrollment Application from their high school counselor.
