In 2012, Virginia House Bill 1184 passed mandating that “each institution within the Virginia Community College System shall develop agreements for postsecondary degree attainment with the public high schools in the school divisions that they serve.” Virginia Western provides a pathway for students to complete the AS General Studies and the Uniform Certificate of General Studies concurrently with a high school diploma.
This rigorous pathway can be accomplished using a combination of dual enrollment classes offered at the high schools, AP/IB exam credit and classes offered on the VWCC campus. Students interested in participating in this pathway must complete the Dual Enrollment HB1184 Declaration of Intent form (PDF). Contact the high school guidance department or the VWCC Dual Enrollment Office to learn more about this program.
