Dual Enrollment

  • Dual Enrollment (DE) courses are offered through ULM, NSU, and LDCC at all Richland Parish School Board high schools (Delhi, Mangham, and Rayville High School).
  • DE courses are paid through Supplemental Course Allocation (SCA) funding. This funding varies from year to year, and may limit the number of courses that can be taken each semester and/or year. If funding is available, more courses may be offered. The following are the base number of DE courses students in grades 10-12 may take:
  • Base DE Course Enrollment
    • Sophomores – 1 DE course per semester
    • Juniors – 1 DE course per semester
    • Seniors – 2 DE courses per semester

  • Additionally, students must meet grade point average (GPA) requirements set by the enrolling college or university to enroll in DE courses.
  • If they do not meet the ACT score or GPA requirements, participating colleges and universities should universities may allow students to be enrolled in DE courses with a letter of recommendation from school counselors. Counselor recommendation letters will not be written for students more than 1 point below the ACT score requirements set forth by the enrolling institutions. However, the college or university retains the ability to choose to accept or not accept a letter of recommendation from a school counselor.
  • Any student enrolled in a DE course who drops or receives a grade below a “C” for a course will be responsible for paying the high school the cost and fees associated with enrollment in the course.
