High School Dual Enrollment Program

Students in their final two years of high school are eligible to begin taking courses through UL Lafayette if they meet certain pre-admission criteria. Students must be on track to complete the Board of Regents (TOPS) core, have an ACT composite score of at least 21, English sub score of 18 and a Math sub score of 19, and a cumulative unweighted GPA of 2.75.
