Dual Enrollment

Enroll in College Courses While in High School

ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ's High School Dual Enrollment program is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to enroll in college courses while in high school. The program provides students with the opportunity to:

  • Get a head start in the pursuit of a college degree
  • Pursue a second major or multiple minors
  • Participate in a Learning Abroad Experience
  • Enjoy the flexibility to lighten your course load and schedule when you enroll
  • Relish the freedom to choose elective courses tailored to your interests

Orientation

To prepare incoming students for success in the dual enrollment program, all new dual enrollment students are required to attend an informational orientation session prior to their first semester at ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ. At orientation, students will receive their schedule and network ID, as well as information regarding our campus, student support services and policies and procedures. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend as well.

High School Dual Enrollment can begin following the completion of sophomore year and ends after the spring semester of senior year.

Continuing Enrollment Eligibility

Once a student is accepted into the Dual Enrollment program, subsequent enrollment requires a minimum of 2.00 or better in each ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ course and continued approval by high school guidance counselor/principal. Students must also submit a new School Authorization Form to the Office of Admissions for each semester.

Costs

The tuition cost for High School Dual Enrollees is $100 per credit hour in addition to any applicable fees (i.e. course fees, lab fees) and books. If a course has a ‘#’ in front of the class an additional fee will be charged. The fee will vary based on course. Please refer to ÌÇÐÄVLOGÍøÒ³°æ's Dual Enrollment website or see your guidance counselor for more information.

Registration

Initial registration will be coordinated by the Office of Admissions in conjunction with the Registrar's Office. Dual Enrollment students are not permitted to take on-line courses.

Transfer of Dual Enrollment Credits

All colleges and universities have specific policies regarding acceptance of transfer, dual enrollment, and Advanced Placement credits. High school students, particularly those interested in graduate or professional schools (i.e. Pharmacy, Law, or Medical Schools) should know that some colleges, universities and graduate and professional schools can choose not to accept/recognize dual enrollment, articulation or advanced placement credits. Therefore, any high school student who enters into a dual enrollment or articulation program or who takes advanced placement credits must realize that the professional schools could require such students to take additional higher level courses in the same discipline or meet other criteria to compensate for dual enrollment/articulation/advance placement credit. It is highly recommended that, before dual enrolling, students should discuss specific transfer and dual enrollment policies with the Program Directors at the colleges and universities to which they are planning to apply/transfer.
