DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
1.
I understand that as a Dual Enrollment student, the course work taken at the college level will have the same rigor and
pace for
all students regardless of age, grade or postsecondary classification.
2.
I understand that Southwest Dual Enrollment Program students in college courses are subject to the same standards,
policies, and responsibilities as other college students unless otherwise restricted by federal state or local requirements.
3.
I understand that curriculum content, evaluation, and selection of appropriate instructional materials used in Dual
Enrollment courses are the prerogative of the college instructor and will not differ from that presented for traditional
college students.
4.
I understand that Southwest Tennessee Community College is an open campus and that I will be attending classes with
non-high school aged students and that I may encounter students of various ages and backgrounds while on the
Southwest campus.
5.
I understand that the Southwest Dual Enrollment Coordinator is the first point of contact for parents and school
representatives who wish to discuss academic progress in a college course or request information about school or
classroom activities. I understand that my parents do not have direct access to my college instructors or to my academic
records.
6.
I understand that high academic standards are expected of all students. Students participating in Dual Enrollment must
have met all required scores on the ACT, PLAN, SAT, PSAT, or the Residual ACT exam. Students participating in Dual
Enrollment must also meet established GPA requirements.
7.
I understand that if my college GPA falls below 2.75 and/or if my Dual Enrollment or Dual Enrollment Lottery
Scholarship eligibility is jeopardized, I may be removed from the program. Continued eligibility in the program will
be based upon a review of academic standing at the conclusion of each academic term. Any student who is withdrawn
from the Dual Enrollment Program, or chooses to leave voluntarily, must have permission of their parent, counselor and
principal.
8.
I agree to abide by all Southwest policies and procedures including, but not limited to the policies and procedures
of my designated school board or home school association.
9.
I understand that if I violate any items of the Southwest or my designated school board or home school association
Code of Student Conduct, I may be required to leave the Dual Enrollment Program.
10.
I understand that necessary completion of high school graduation requirements does not guarantee completion of a
dual enrollment course.
11.
I understand that I am responsible for fulfilling all course requirements that require textbooks, online activity and use of
other academic resources.
12.
Because Southwest campuses are open campus environments, should I choose to leave campus for any reason, I fully
understand that Southwest, its officers, trustees, employees and agents are released from liability, claims of demands for
any damage, loss, or injury to me, my property, or parent’s property in connection with my actions.
13.
I understand and agree to attend and fully participate in the mandatory Dual Enrollment seminars, workshops and
activities including tutoring, if required.
