La Plata, MD – Feb. 6th. The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) invites area parents of high school students to attend Dual Enrollment Parent Night at one of the college’s three campuses, Feb. 16, March 1 and 2.
Dual enrollment allows high school students to take classes at CSM for college credit while satisfying high school graduation requirements. Benefits of dual enrollment include a savings on tuition and a way for college-bound students to get a head start on earning credits toward their degree. Dual-enrolled students pay half of CSM’s regular tuition rate for their courses, and college credits earned at CSM can be transferred to most colleges and universities around the country.
This is a competitive admissions program, and students must demonstrate college-readiness to be dually enrolled. Participants in dual enrollment must complete an application, complete college level placement options and submit a signed form by May 15 for the summer semester, July 15 for the fall semester and Dec. 15 for the spring semester.
The La Plata Campus Dual Enrollment Parent Night will be held at 6 p.m., Feb. 16, in the Business and Industry (BI) Building, Room 113/113E, 8730 Mitchell Road in La Plata.
The Prince Frederick Campus event will be held at 6 p.m. March 1 in Building B, Multipurpose Room, 115 J.W. Williams Road in Prince Frederick.
The St. Mary’s Campus event will be held at 6 p.m. March 2 in Building A, Room 206, 22950 Hollywood Road in Leonardtown.
