DUAL ENROLLMENT
Standards for Dual Enrollment / Accelerate Classes
-
May be required to pass the required placement test at Troy University depending on the ACT score and/or the course a student requests to take (unless waived by the university)
-
ACT Composite score of 20 or above or letter from the headmaster confirming the student is capable of completing the course requirements
-
Students that substitute a Pike Liberal Arts core course must take 4 TERMS in the Accelerate program. The student grade will be based on average of terms 1 and 2 for the first semester and the average of terms 3 and 4 for the second semester.
-
All Dual Enrollment/Accelerate grades will be recorded on the Pike Liberal Arts School transcript for course unit required to graduate. In addition, the student’s grade will be recorded with the Troy University transcript for college credit.
-
Students that do not pass either the Dual Enrollment or Accelerate class will not qualify to graduate unless the credit is recovered by retaking the class and making a passing grade or completing a course equivalent to graduation requirements set by the AISA.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
All students must accumulate 75 hours of community service between 9th grade and the end of the first semester of 12th grade.
These community service hours must be recorded on Community Service Hours forms.
The forms must then be turned into the counselor's office prior to Christmas Break of the student's senior year.
