In keeping with our goals to ensure that every child is college and career-ready, Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) high school juniors and seniors have the opportunity to earn college credit, while still in high school through the Dual Enrollment Program.
Dual Enrollment Program Background: The College Readiness and Completion Act of 2013, Senate Bill 740 establishes a number of requirements designed at increasing college readiness and degree completion in the State. The bill includes a number of specific higher education initiatives from across the nation that streamline into this legislative act. The Bill’s targeted initiatives include dual enrollment, which provides eligible high school students the opportunity to take college courses while still in high school.
PGCPS will pay tuition for all students dually enrolled in qualified courses at any Maryland public college or university.
PGCPS currently has formal agreements, Memorandum of Understandings, with Prince George's Community College. As a benefit of the agreement, students are able to receive dual credit (credit that appears on both a student’s college and high school transcript). Additionally, the college shares student grades directly with PGCPS. If students are participating in Dual Enrollment at an institution where PGCPS does not have a formal agreement, grades must be submitted to the student’s high school to be added to their high school transcript.
Announcement * New Partnership with University of Maryland College Park!
PGCPS has entered into a pilot partnership with UMD College Park to provide virtual college Algebra and Calculus courses for PGCPS seniors, class of '25, with at least a 3.5 GPA and at least a grade of B in PreCalculus at no charge for students. The program has a maximum of 60 seats for students interested in participating. The first 60 students who qualify for the course and who do not have access to Calculus at their high school will be given priority. The courses will meet virtually in the summer from 9-11 and in the fall Monday-Friday from 9:00 -10:00 a.m. Students must have the time reserved on their schedule to participate in the class at school.
