Earning an AA with High School Diploma
(Dual Enrollment)

High School students earning both the standard high school diploma and an associate in arts (A.A.) degree through dual enrollment from a Florida College System or State University System institution and who do not meet Freshman admission requirements may be admitted to Florida Atlantic under Florida Board of Governors Regulation 6.005.

Students admitted under this regulation will be considered freshmen students for admissions purposes. They must submit a $200 non-refundable deposit to enroll, attend a freshman orientation (S.O.A.R.) session, and be eligible to apply for freshman on-campus housing as long as these steps are completed by stipulated priority dates and deadlines. However, they will not be eligible for any merit scholarships from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Students being considered for admission under FL BOG 6.005 will be required to submit an official Florida College System or State University System transcript for evaluation prior to an admissions offer being made; they must also provide a final official college transcript displaying the A.A. before enrolling at Florida Atlantic.

We recommend students review our academic program prerequisites to ensure you are as prepared as possible for your Florida Atlantic degree plan.

Any freshman student admitted under this regulation must immediately notify the Office of Undergraduate Admissions if they do not intend to receive their degree for any reason. Any freshman student admitted under this regulation who does not receive their A.A. may have their admission revoked.
