Growing Future Educators

Students will participate in rigorous dual enrollment courses focused on teaching strategies that match the same courses taught to other Claflin University students.

Faculty assigned to teach dual enrollment courses will satisfy all relevant SACSCOC criteria and will possess the same academic credentials and/or documented professional experience required by CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY.

The academic and student support services that CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY provides for dual-enrollment students will be appropriate for the courses and programs offered for other students enrolled in similar courses and programs. Further, CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY will ensure that dual-enrolled students are appropriately oriented regarding their rights and responsibilities as CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY students, including the process of filing a student complaint. 

Dual-enrolled students will have access to the appropriate library resources like other CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY students. CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY will ensure that students have access to regular and timely instruction in the use of the library and other learning resources. 

Dual enrollment coursework shall be limited to courses listed on the Statewide Transfer and Articulation Policy, courses listed in the South Carolina Department of Education Activity Code Manual, and courses leading to an industry credential. All coursework must be approved by the home school’s principal or principal’s designee as well as the G.F.E Coordinator prior to enrolling in a course. 

CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY will establish and publish the tuition and fee schedule for courses. Tuition and fees will be the responsibility of OCSD to pay by the published CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY deadlines. If the OCSD arranges to cover the cost of tuition and fees, CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY will provide an invoice after any applicable financial aid has been applied. 

Claflin University- Tuition savings of over $13,500 per semester (Tuition, room & board, technology, dues, etc)

Saving approximately $54,000 for two years!

At the conclusion of each semester, CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY will provide a numerical final grade to the high schools in the form of a secure, official grade report. The high school transcript will reflect dual credit courses as earning a 1.0 quality point weighting above the CP level. 

CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY and the OCSD will ensure that dual enrollment courses are offered in adequate physical facilities, whether under the control of CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY or the Orangeburg County School District.
