CTE Maritime Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment courses are offered in pairs; therefore, students are enrolled in two DE courses during both the Fall and Spring semesters (the chart below is an example and could change):

Year Fall Spring

Junior U.S. History (HIST 1301) Senior English IV (ENGL 1301 Comp I) Government

(GOV 2306 TX)

U.S. Government

(GOV 2305 Fed) U.S. History (HIST 1302) English IV (ENGL 1302 Comp II) Humanities

(HUMA 1301) Economics (ECON 2301) or Psychology (PSYC 2301)

If the student withdraws from a DE course, is removed from the course due to failure to follow policies of LPHS and San Jacinto College, or fails the course (below a 70), the district’s cost of tuition and books will be charged to the student’s high school account and will need to be paid before graduation. Students may not initiate dropping a course without prior approval from their LPHS counselor. Students should be aware that the grading scales for La Porte High School and San Jacinto College are different. In order to receive high school credit for a college course a student must receive a numerical grade of 70 or better. If a student receives a numerical grade less than 70, the student will not receive high school credit. However, if a student receives a grade of 60 or higher, they will receive college credit at San Jacinto College; but will not receive high school credit. All books are paid for by La Porte ISD and must be returned to the high school at the completion of every semester. If a student fails to return books at the end of the semester, the cost of the books will be charged to the student’s high school account.
