Risen Star Academy students are recognized by the state of Florida as private school students. This fact disqualifies RSA students from participating in the FREE dual enrollment program that homeschool students are eligible to participate in. Your student has several options to participate in dual enrollment:
- your student may dis-enroll from Risen Star Academy and you may establish a homeschool in your county of residence. At this point your student will have the same dual enrollment options that a homeschool student has (ie. free college courses).
- RSA has a dual enrollment agreement with Northwest Florida State College, that is about to expire. Even with the articulation agreement parents are responsible to pay for the courses - this would be free if you utilize option 1
- your student may enroll in an online college program as self pay @ TEL Learning for just $200/ course.

Why my daughter likes the Tel-learning / Tel-education process:
- No PERT or placement tests
- 100% online - at your own pace (within the 16-week semester)
- Mid-terms and finals are online proctored exams / but they have proctors available 24/7 so if she wanted to take an exam at 1:30 am, she can absolutely do that. She actually has taken an exam at 11:30 pm before.
- If you don't finish the degree by graduation, it doesn't matter, because you can finish the courses even after you complete high school.
- Courses count as high school AND college credits at the same time.
