FEF-AP Dual Credit Program

It is the belief of the board that any student in grade 11 or 12 who is capable of, and wishes to do, college-level work while in high school should be permitted to do so and given assistance in enrolling in advanced courses. Therefore, the West Fargo School District will participate in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program allowed by North Dakota Century Code. The superintendent is authorized to enter into agreements with post-secondary institutions to count post-secondary courses toward high school graduation and to provide post-secondary courses in the high school.

Any junior or senior whose admission to a college-level course is recommended by a counselor or principal may enroll in a course at any of the eligible institutions for postsecondary credit. Permission from the superintendent or designee will be required to apply the course toward high school graduation requirements. The superintendent or designee shall develop criteria for approval of courses.

In addition to allowing students to enroll in college-level courses taught at postsecondary institutions, the district may offer courses that qualify for dual credit in cooperation with eligible institutions. Students enrolled in these courses may apply to the post-secondary institution for dual credit. Information about the requirements set forth by the post-secondary institution will be available from counselors and the teachers of the qualified courses.
