To apply to the Robertson County District Collaborative, please read the following.
Yearly Application Process
- By the beginning of March, eligible high school sophomores in the Robertson County School system should notify their high school counselor that they are interested in participating in the RCDC.
- Students and their parents/guardians will have an opportunity to attend an information session led by Vol State staff to learn more about the program and ask questions (these are encouraged but not mandatory).
- The RCDC cohort is capped, and not all eligible students may be able to participate if more students express interest than the cohort seats available. Robertson County Schools will determine the initial cohort applicants. The district may manage a list of alternate applicants in the event a student applicant withdraws from consideration or is determined to not be eligible.
- Once the cohort is defined, Vol State will host an onboarding/orientation session during the spring to guide students in filling out the RCDC application and appropriate financial aid applications.
- Students will be advised on course selection and registered for classes.
Placement Testing
- High School GPA: If your high school GPA is 3.6 or higher, you may not need additional placement testing.
- ACT: If you have already taken the ACT and meet the minimum score requirements, send a screenshot of your ACT scores to dualenrollment@volstate.edu. The screenshot must show your full name, your ACT composite score, and ACT sub-scores. Do not submit an ACT Superscore.
- ACCUPLACER: If you do not have a minimum 3.6 high school GPA or an acceptable ACT score, see the ACCUPLACER information below.
