Dual Enrollment

With the 2013 passage of the Flexible Pathways bill, Vermont’s dual enrollment program allows eligible Vermont high school students to take two tuition-free college courses in their junior and/or senior year. Dual enrollment opportunities include summer courses and online courses, in addition to courses on a college campus. The college professor assesses student work, and grades are reported on both the Burr and Burton and the college transcript. Students are subject to the policies and procedures of the sponsoring college or university.
