Dual Enrollment

Through this part-time program, students can take college courses at SPC or on their high school campus, earning credits toward both high school graduation and a college degree. There are no costs for application, tuition, or required textbooks for Pinellas students taking courses on SPC campuses. We are excited to offer you the chance to get a head start on qualifying for the Dual Enrollment Program for the next school year. This opportunity is made possible through a partnership between St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County Schools. You can earn high school and college credits simultaneously at no cost to you!
