College Courses for High School Students

Northwest Florida State College has provided dual enrollment opportunities for more than 25 years to thousands of students.

PERT Testing Information

If you need to take a PLACEMENT TEST, you may schedule the PERT here.

PERT study guide and tests can be found here.

All students must present a full battery of placement scores at the time of initial registration.  Scores are entered by the school counselor on the registration form.  If scores do not meet the minimum requirement in all three areas, a student may take up to 12 credit hours if they meet the required 3.0 cumulative unweighted GPA.  Once a student has taken 12 credit hours, they must have minimum scores in all areas to continue in Dual Enrollment.
