In order for students to receive dual enrollment consideration, an active Virginia Community College System application must be completed. The online application takes about 10-15 minutes for completion and can be accessed here.
On the initial application page, students must enter a temporary username and password to gain access into the application stage. Following completion of the application, students will receive a seven-digit student ID number (also known as an EmplID), along with their My.WCC username (usually, the individual student’s initials and a random number) and a temporary password (a randomly generated case-sensitive set of letters, numbers, and/or characters).
NOTE: If students have already activated an application, the application page will stop after the first page – indicating that an active application is already in use. If this happens, please contact the Dual Enrollment Coordinator regarding ID and password retrieval.
It is highly advised that students log into their My.WCC account upon application completion, especially since the temporary password is only good for 30 days. The Dual Enrollment Coordinator can also help reset any expired passwords. Additionally, students need to become familiar with their My.WCC account as part of dual enrollment – including Canvas usage, research options, email, Office 365 downloads, and much more.
Following application completion, students are then ready to take applicable placement tests in both English and Mathematics. Additionally, students can receive exemption in one or both examinations depending on ACT, PSAT, SAT, and/or Alg. I SOL results. Exemptions largely depend on the dual enrollment courses being taken through either the school and/or independently with WCC.
