What is Dual Enrollment?
-
Dual Enrollment allows high school students to enroll in college courses and earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. This unique opportunity gives students a head start on their college education while still attending high school. Here is a graphic for "Considerations for College Credits" - and if this is right for you. EWMHS graduation requirements will be taken through our traditional high school courses. While some dual enrollment courses can satisfy equivalent requirements, your schedule at East Wake will include all graduation requirements, and enrollment at Wake Tech does not dictate your schedule at East Wake. Articulation agreements for dual enrollment courses favor in-state public institution transfers, and the transfer/acceptance of dual enrollment courses can be limited by out-of-state or by private institutions. Please inquire with your specific college/university of choice for all options.

Available Pathways
- College Transfer Pathways are designed for high school students who wish to begin earning college credit towards Wake Tech's University Transfer degree programs – Associate in Arts, Associate in Engineering, Associate in Science or Associate in Fine Arts – which are intended for eventual transfer to a four-year college or university. The pathways include courses prescribed in the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement for transferring credits from North Carolina community colleges to UNC System institutions. The link shows Wake Tech courses and their potential dual enrollment options on your EWMHS transcript. Most carry an additional 1.0 credit weight on your GPA. All courses taken in this pathway will be added to your transcript - whatever you earn at Wake Tech, is what is added to your transcript at East Wake. No matter the outcome!
- Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways lead to a certificate or diploma aligned with a high school career cluster. It is designed for students who want to work toward the completion of a credential before graduating from high school. The link shows available Wake Tech courses that can also be included on your EWMHS transcript. These courses carry the added weighted point value referenced in the chart towards GPA (standard = 0 added, honors = 0.5 added, college = 1.0 point added). Courses taken from this chart WILL be added to your high school transcript, regardless of the grade received. Here is another updated list - CTE Course Weighted List - if you cannot find the course you are interested in.
