2026-2027

Dual College Enrollment

In special circumstances, seniors in the Honors program may be allowed to participate with area colleges in a high school/college joint enrollment program to attend an approved class not being offered at SCA. Students must receive permission from Spartanburg Christian Academy to enroll in courses that will earn dual unit, i.e. Carnegie units from SCA and unit at another institution. Dual unit courses receive AP weighting which is one full quality point above the CP weighting. Courses taken off campus are not intended to replace a high school course offered at SCA. Each student is responsible to meet the college’s requirement for enrollment, complete the application process necessary, and pay for the courses taken. Class schedule must not conflict with required SCA coursework. Students are limited to taking two college courses that will count on their SCA high school transcript. These courses must be core academic courses.
