Other High School Options
Dual enrollment is not the only way for a high school student to earn college credit. Reynolds offers high school students not participating in Dual Enrollment the opportunity to enroll and start earning college credit prior to graduating from high school. Students who are rising high school freshmen to seniors in the upcoming school year are eligible to apply. High school students below the junior level require additional approval before enrolling. For more information regarding requirements, visit the Reynolds webpage reynolds.edu/HomeSchool or contact the Admissions Office by email at Admissions@reynolds.edu or by phone (804) 523-5029.

English as a Second Language
reynolds.edu/get_started/esl
Reynolds offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for students whose primary language is not English. ESL classes are designed to help students successfully speak, listen, read, and write academic English, which prepares them to take for-credit college classes in degree and certificate granting programs. Day and evening ESL classes meet on the Parham Road Campus and follow the Reynolds academic calendar. Almost all of our ESL classes are held face-to-face, which offers a significant advantage in language learning. The ESL Program offers 11 separate classes in 4 levels (low intermediate, intermediate, high intermediate, advanced). Before they enroll in classes, students are required to take a free ESL placement test so they can be enrolled in the correct level. The results of their ESL placement tests will determine how many ESL classes a student needs to take (from 1 to 11 classes). For more information on the ESL Program or to schedule a placement test, students may contact the ESL Program at 804-523-5020 or email esl@reynolds.edu or come see us in person in Burnette Hall room 220.
