Dual Enrollment

 

Dual enrollment is an option available to qualified junior and senior students. Students may enroll in a college-level course for college and/or high school credit while remaining enrolled at UCHS. Enrollment in a class that is below college level will be taken for high school credit only. To be eligible, students must:

  • Have a cumulative 2.0 GPA or higher;
  • Have met or are meeting all graduation requirements through the regular high school program; and
  • Enroll in a college course that is not available in the high school program, either because it is not offered or because of a conflict of time in the schedule.

Dual enrollment is available through the University of Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis Community College, and Harris Stowe State University, as well as other area colleges. This option is generally open to seniors only and requires parent, counselor, and administrator approval prior to enrollment. Dual Enrollment Forms should be obtained from the Counseling office. As most college and university semesters do not coincide with high school calendars, forms must be completed and submitted by the colleges’ deadlines.

To arrange dual enrollment, students must meet with their counselor after locating the course they wish to take. The counselor will examine records and write the permission letter for all qualifying students.  Students will earn 1.5 high school credits for 5 credit hour college courses and 1 high school credit for 3 credit hour college courses.
