Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment is a great opportunity for students to earn both high school and college credit.
Students will pay the DE fee of $97/credit hour and must pass the class with a 70% or higher to receive college credit.
*DE classes do not count towards weighted GPA*
*DE classes are transferrable to all in-state universities and community colleges. Some out of state schools may or may not take the DE credits based on school requirements. Contact college representatives for more information*
REMINDERS: Grade bumps are posted on SRHS transcript ONLY, not your Rio Salado transcript. If you are unsure of the prerequisites for your class, please check the Shadow Ridge Course List or speak to your teacher
