The dual enrolment programme is an opportunity to take challenging courses and accelerate education opportunities. Students who successfully complete dual enrolment courses will save time toward their college degree and save money. Students should understand, however, that dual enrolment courses are college courses and the amount of work necessary to succeed in dual enrolment courses may be much greater than in senior school courses. In addition, dual enrolment courses become a part of a student's permanent college transcript and are calculated into the student's permanent postsecondary GPA at Bermuda College. It is important to do well in these courses to realize all the benefits of dual enrolment.
