Job Summary:

The Dual Enrollment Academic Coordinator is part of a Dual Enrollment team that includes faculty and staff in both Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management who work together to run one of the largest and most successful Dual Enrollment programs in the state, including all DE professional development, events, and accreditation efforts.

The Coordinator is responsible for creating new and maintaining existing academic partnerships and relationships with high schools, school systems, the Alabama State Department of Education, and other stakeholders in Jax State’s Dual Enrollment (DE) program.

The Coordinator works closely with high school administrators to provide needed data throughout the academic year, partner school annual reports, and professional development as needed, and plans the annual partner school luncheon.
