The next application cycle for the PGCPS Dual Enrollment Program is Summer/Fall 2026. Students may apply for either term or both at this time.
Students interested in attending Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) should contact the COAST Advisor assigned to their high school for guidance and next steps. The application is now open.
Additionally, students interested in applying to other public Maryland institutions should submit an Intent to Enroll form by the deadline date for the interested semester .
Intent to Enroll Submission Deadline:
Summer 2026 Semester - May 22, 2026
Fall 2026 Semester - July 31, 2026
Students who plan to enroll in a public Maryland college or university that is NOT Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) must submit an Intent to Enroll (ITE) form by the published deadline.
Submission of the ITE form by the stated deadline is required for PGCPS to consider payment of tuition and eligible course costs at institutions other than PGCC. Failure to submit the form on time may result in the student and parent/guardian being responsible for all associated costs.
