This handbook is your essential roadmap to success, outlining the specific academic policies and behavior expectations that will keep you on track. Because you are balancing both high school and college responsibilities, understanding these guidelines early prevents costly mistakes and helps you confidently navigate your dual-enrollment experience. Please take the time to review it carefully, as you are responsible for following all the rules and deadlines detailed inside.
