Homeschool Dual Enrollment in Mississippi

Mississippi homeschoolers take college courses for credit by applying directly to a Mississippi community college as dual enrollment students, and the family pays the college's tuition.

How dual enrollment works for homeschoolers

Each community college runs its own dual enrollment admission for high school students, homeschoolers included, and decides which placement scores open its academic courses.

The course earns college credit on the college transcript, and your home instruction program can also count it toward the high school record you keep for your child.

The Mississippi Department of Education advises home instruction families to contact colleges early to learn what each requires, because each sets its own rules for homeschool graduates too.

Before your child can enroll

  1. College admission

    Your child applies to the community college as a dual enrollment student and meets its placement requirement for each course.

Enrolling in a college course

  1. First step

    Ask the dual enrollment office at your nearest community college for its homeschool application and placement score requirements.

  2. What it costs

    Books and fees are also the family's cost.

  3. When to apply

    Apply before the college's registration date for the semester you want.
