Homeschool Dual Enrollment in Florida
Florida's dual enrollment law covers home education students. They pay no registration, tuition, or laboratory fees, and the materials assigned for their courses are free.
How dual enrollment works for homeschoolers
Under section 1007.271 of the Florida Statutes, a dual enrollment course earns credit toward both high school completion and a college degree or career certificate. Every eligible public college and university must sign a home education articulation agreement with each home education student and parent before the student enrolls.
The agreement lists the courses and programs open to dually enrolled home education students and the student's transportation duties. Its eligibility rules and course limits may not exceed those the college sets for other dual enrollment students.
To keep taking courses, your child must hold the minimum college grade point average the institution sets.
Before your child can enroll
Proof of home education
Your child shows proof of enrollment in a home education program registered under section 1002.41.
College-level skills
Your child demonstrates college-level communication and computation skills on the state's college placement measures. A college may not require a high school grade point average from a home education student who meets that standard.
Enrolling in a college course
First step
Ask your local state college for its articulation agreement and its placement test rules.
Course and funding limits
Your child provides their own transportation unless the articulation agreement covers it.
What it costs
The law leaves no tuition or course material charge for a dual enrollment course at a public institution. Transportation is the main cost a family may carry.
When to apply
Apply by the college's dual enrollment deadline for the term you want, and leave time to sit the placement test first.
