Gemini Concurrent Enrollment Program
FLCC and area high schools partner to provide eligible high school students with the opportunity to receive college credit at an affordable cost. Qualified high school teachers are approved by FLCC to deliver the college course in their school.
Gemini provides students with more course options, alleviates the high stakes testing associated with AP and IB courses, and provides the academic edge needed for acceptance into highly selective colleges.
Students in the Gemini Program are part-time FLCC students with access to SUNY online library resources. Part-time students can have a maximum of 11 credit hours per semester. Upon high school graduation, students may choose to attend FLCC or transfer their credits to another institution by requesting an official college transcript.
The Gemini Program is accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). NACEP is a national organization with an established set of programmatic standards indicative of quality concurrent enrollment programs. FLCC is included in a charter group of four institutions to be the first accredited by NACEP.

Disclaimer:
It is the discretion of the receiving institution to determine whether they will accept transfer credits from another college or university and how those credits will be applied. It is strongly recommended that the students check with the college or university of their choice for acceptance of FLCC transfer credit before registering for an FLCC course. When transferring your credits, be prepared to present your course syllabus and portfolio to college officials who might need more detailed course information before accepting the credit.
Registration
Registration materials will be distributed in the high school classrooms at the start of each semester. An FLCC representative will visit your school district for Fall and Spring registrations. Contact your high school counselor for exact dates and times.
All registrations must be postmarked by the deadline. Students cannot register after the deadline. All late registrations will be returned.
Differences between Concurrent Enrollment (Gemini) and Advanced Placement (AP)
Gemini (Concurrent Enrollment): College courses taught in the high school for which college and high school credits are awarded for the same course. Credit is transcripted on an official college transcript.
- Actual college credit is earned and transcripted at the end of each semester
- Success is based on a variety of assessments throughout the semester, not solely upon one test
- FLCC courses follows college syllabus and textbooks
AP (Advanced Placement): College-level exams for which students may receive credit upon matriculation to college, depending upon the test scores.
