      • All students in grades 6-12 who meet these eligibility requirements or additional eligibility requirements as determined in the articulation agreement must be allowed to participate in dual enrollment. Any additional eligibility requirements or limits on dual enrollment participation based on grade levels must be only to ensure college readiness and not to arbitrarily prohibit students who have demonstrated the ability to master advanced courses from participation.

    • Take the PERT placement test when offered at our high school. ACT or SAT scores may also be used to meet placement requirements.

    3. Provide your full, legal name and other identifying information. Make sure it’s the exact same name and information shown on your photo ID.
    4. Decide if you want to answer other questions about yourself. This takes time, but it’s worth it if you want colleges and scholarship organizations to find you. Learn why you should opt in to Student Search Service®.
    5. Explore test center locations and dates for when you can take the SAT.
    6. Upload a photo that meets very specific photo requirements.
    7. Check out, and print your admission ticket.

     

       

    Consider choosing a test date at least two months ahead of the application deadlines of all the colleges and scholarship agencies you might want to apply to.

    Scores for the ACT are normally reported within 2–8 weeks after the test date. If you take the ACT with writing, scores will be reported only after all of your scores are available, including writing, normally within 5–8 weeks after the test date.
