Funding and Program Limitations

  • Tuition Only. Dual Enrollment Funding will pay tuition costs only. WGTC waives many mandatory fees for our dual students. However, some programs require program-specific fees, such as lab fees, supply fees, testing fees, etc. These are NOT covered by DE funding and are the student’s responsibility to pay.
  • Repeated Course. Dual Enrollment Funding will not pay for a course that has already been attempted.
  • Two Withdrawals. Students will lose eligibility for the Dual Enrollment program after obtaining 2 course withdrawals.
  • 30 hours. Dual Enrollment Funding is only available up to 30 hours. Students who wish to take more than 30 hours, may use HOPE Grant, if eligible, or may self-pay for courses. If HOPE Grant is used, it does count towards the HOPE Grant/Scholarship cap hours limits.

Student Balances

In limited instances, a dual enrolled student may owe a balance. Tuition, fees and supplies that are not covered by financial aid funding become the student’s responsibility to pay.  A few common instances when a student may owe a balance are:

  • Additional fees are required. Dual Enrollment funding covers 100% of tuition expenses and WGTC waives mandatory fees; however, many courses have additional fees, such as lab fees or program fees and program-specific requirements that have a cost associate with them, such as background checks. These additional fees are not covered by Dual Enrollment funding and are the student’s responsibility to pay. The student can view their account information under MyWGTC Portal, Knighthawk Navigator, Account Detail by Term.  Some school systems provide assistance with additional fees, please reach out to our WGTC High School Coordinator for account questions.
  • Incomplete or ineligible Funding Applications. Failure to complete a required GSFC Funding application, to provide additional documentation, if requested, or to meet GSFC funding eligibility requirements may result in denial or loss of funding. Tuition and fees not covered by GSFC funding will be the student’s responsibility to pay. Students will be notified if they are missing items or are determined to be ineligible for funding.
  • Exceeding the 30 hour Dual Enrollment Funding Limit. Students can receive Dual Enrollment Funding for up to 30 credit hours of coursework. If students choose to take courses exceeding the 30 hour maximum, the student will be responsible for any tuition, fees above this maximum. In sone high-demand fields, students may use HOPE Grant & HOPE Career Grant funds to assist with tuition and fees beyond 30 hours if eligible.
  • Taking Courses not listed on the GSFC approved Course Directory. Student may only receive Dual Enrollment Funding for courses listed on the GSFC approved course list. Should a student want to take courses not appearing on the list, the cost of those courses will be the student’s responsibility to pay.
  • Not meeting the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. All students receiving state financial aid funds, including Dual Enrollment Funding, are required to meet the College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. Failure to maintain a 2.00 Cumulative GPA or 67% completion rate will result in loss of funding eligibility. Any student on Financial Aid Suspension due to not meeting SAP will be responsible for all course tuition and fees for the term.
