Students may take the ACT, SAT, or PERT test to show you are college ready. You must meet the minimum scores in Reading, English/Writing, and Math (either level) to take Dual Enrollment Courses on a college campus.

Students interested in Dual Enrollment and taking the ACT or SAT should put Pensacola State College as one of their college choices (School Code: 001513) so test scores are sent to the college. If you have already completed one or both tests and did not list PSC at the time of testing, please request your official scores be sent to PSC.

Home School Check List

1. Verify Eligibility and Get Informed

However, a couple of the first steps for a home school dual enrollment student will need to be completed by the home school parent/guardian. Please pay careful attention to who is directed to complete which step. If the direction says “you” we mean you the student.

Your home school parent/guardian will contact the County School District Official for your county of residence to determine if you are registered with the county as a home school student. This is required by the current district articulation agreement for Dual Enrollment. If you are eligible, your home school parent/guardian will work with the County Official to complete the Home School Students District Form.

How do I view my schedule?

Where do I access Workday, Piratemail, Canvas and other important school apps?

Scroll to the top of this page and click on MyPSC and if not already logged in complete the login instructions.

Are there any important dates I should know?

Absolutely! Make sure you familiarize yourself with the Academic Calendar.

How do I drop or add a class?

You and your counselor will use the Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Form (See Important Links Above) to request additional changes. Make sure you have checked the Academic Calendar and are still within the time frame to drop and add classes.

What information can my parents access about my PSC Student Record, and how can they access it?

As a student your privacy is covered under a federal regulation called the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). In K-12 your parents get automatic access to your student record, and this is not considered a breach of privacy. However, that all changes once you begin in college (including Dual Enrollment).

If you want to give your parents permission to access your records, you can complete this form yearly. Or, if your parents claim you as a dependent on their taxes, they can complete this form and submit the required documentation yearly to gain access to your Student Record without requiring your direct permission.

If you have additional questions on this, you can see a full rundown on FERPA in the school’s Annual FERPA Notification posted to our website or you can reach out to studentrecords@pensacolastate.edu.

I’m having trouble getting books from the PSC bookstore, what should I do?

If you are a Public School student, please reach out to your school counselor about the correct procedure to get your books for your dual enrollment classes. If you are a Private School or Home Schooled student please email dualenrollment@pensacolastate.edu from your Piratemail account. Make sure you tell us your name and student ID number.

7. Having Problems?

If you find you are lost or confused, have been dropped unexpectedly from a class, or run into any college related issues please make sure to check in with your PSC Advisor (contact information available in the Academics app on Workday). Need more guidance on how to locate their information? Check out the video on Workday Help.
