Dual Credit at JCS
The dual enrollment program offered at JCS through
Freed-Hardeman University and University of Tennessee, Martin provides college courses
to high school students.
Students receive both a high school credit and a college credit and
the student establishes an official university transcript. By
taking dual enrollment course(s), first term college students have a
reduced academic load and an advantage in academic scheduling in their
second term. The student has "twice the time" to learn the
material with "mandatory" attendance since the classes are taught in
high school during regular school hours.
Students in the Dual Credit program must have the following:
- A minimum 3.0 GPA
- ACT score of 20
- A parent's (or guardian's) approval
- Guidance counselor's (or high school designee) approval
- Completed and approved dual enrollment form with an attached transcript.
**Credits will normally transfer from FHU and UTM to other colleges
and universities. Please check with your college of choice to verify that credits will transfer there.
To request a transcript from FHU or UTM to send to another college
or university:
Send a letter (in writing, with your signature attached) to the
following address. You will need to give your social security number and
date of last semester enrolled.
