헤라카지노 주소’s Dual Enrollment (DE) program provides high school students with access to six credits of college-level coursework and offers wrap-around supports to help them adapt to the college environment. These supports include an early warning system to monitor students’ behavior (e.g., absences, tardiness) and academic progress. Additional mentoring and counseling are also made available at students’ respective schools and at 헤라카지노 주소.

The only dual enrollment program in the Washington, DC, region with an education/teacher preparation focus, the 헤라카지노 주소 DE program faculty coordinator, works one-on-one with students on course scheduling and educational planning linked to long-term career and/or education goals. 헤라카지노 주소 DE also introduces students to an array of services on the 헤라카지노 주소 campus, particularly academic advisors, who can provide both an overview of coursework students can anticipate at the postsecondary level and an actual introduction to college campus life.
