South Fayette High School senior Emily Cord has been named to the Dean’s List of the Community College of Allegheny County. Through the Dual Enrollment program at South Fayette High School, Cord took 4 courses for 12 credits last semester at CCAC while also taking courses at the high school. When she graduates high school this spring, she will have earned 33 credits towards college graduation.

South Fayette High School offers the Dual Enrollment opportunity to 11th and 12th grade students. Currently, there are 62 students enrolled in the 2007-2008 program. To be eligible, a student must have scored at least at the proficient level on the PSSA in math, reading, and writing; must take placement exams at the respective colleges; and must meet college-readiness levels as determined at each institution of higher learning. While enrolled in the program, students must maintain the minimum GPA required for each college course to continue in the dual enrollment program.

Courses taken must be in a core content area: math, science, English, social studies, foreign language or fine arts. Courses must also be taken at an institution that has a written agreement with South Fayette High School. Currently agreements exist with CCAC, Robert Morris University, Penn State Beaver, Carlow University and the University of Pittsburgh. Cord’s future plans include one more year at CCAC before attending Robert Morris University to study accounting or marketing.
