Dual Enrollment at UVF
If you take 6 credits per semester in your junior and senior years of high school you will earn the equivalent of one full-year (24 credits) of college credits for only $2,576!** That’s less than the 2015-16 average community college full-time tuition and fees of $3,455 per the College Board report.

It gets better!
