Transferability of Credit/Implications

• Consider FTIC unless 12+ credits earned after HS graduation

• Class Level is affected• Limited eligibility for freshmen scholarships• DE and AP/IB weighted similarly• DE begins postsecondary record/transcripts; AP/IB do

not calculate toward college GPA

• STEM Course Sequence and Recency of Credit• Higher persistence of AP/IB as compared to DE

(Wyatt, Patterson, & DiGiacomo (2015)• Dual Enrollment Courses taken on College

Campuses may yield better outcomes (CCRC, 2012)

Outcomes based on all FL Students in the 200-01 and 2001-02 public school cohort, CRC, 2012

Embedded DE vs. On FCS Campus DE Comparison

Observations• Most school districts pay standard tuition rate and books for

DE students; only homeschooled students attend for free • Most classes taught at the FCS campus• Rise in number of private school participants• Better training for HS counselors – Ensure Appropriate Course

is taken for Pathway• Increase in Trades• 18 year old who transfer as 2nd semester sophomores or

juniors (academic preparation, but lack social maturity)• More general ed completed in HS (3 year degree –

European model)
