Does dual enrollment count as a "post-secondary institution attended"?

Applying to College
1

<p>I’m in a course in my high school which is somewhat experimental. A college in my state selected our school to be the first one to test it and we get 3 college credits per semester (a total of 6 this year). I’m not sure if this is a typical dual enrollment course because I don’t have to go to a college to take the class, it is taught at my school. Also, I don’t know if there is some sort of official dual enrollment program, I just call it a dual enrollment class since it gives college credits (my friend who was accepted into the school I’m applying to said to put it as a dual enrollment course but did not answer my other questions)</p>

<p>On the application it says:</p>

<p>"An official transcript from each post-secondary school you have attended must be provided, including dual enrollment. </p>

<p>List every post-secondary institution you have attended or will attend prior to entering x, including dual enrollment. You must include schools even if you did not complete a term. Include x if you previously attended. Failure to list all institutions could result in your application being denied or your admission being rescinded."</p>

<p>So I’m not sure if I should put the college that is in charge of the course or leave it out. I would need to include a transcript (not right away according to my friend) from that college. I looked on that college’s website and it mentions nothing about the course they’re testing at my school. I have a strange feeling that if I have to call them up for a transcript for that class they won’t be able to help me.</p>

<p>This is something you should be discussing with your guidance counselor.</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to disclose, for two reasons. You didn’t “attend” the other school and the course will show on your regular HS transcript.</p>

<p>Your GC should be able to help you get that transcript from the institution. Because the Common App explicitly includes Dual Enrollment, I would add it. I think the risks of giving more information than needed (in terms of transcripts) is better than giving less than needed, and having your application held up during review.</p>
