What Is Dual Credit?
Through the Mayville State’s Dual Credit program, qualified high school students are able to enroll in specifically approved classes taught in their local high schools or through interactive video. They receive “dual credit,” both high school and university credit for their work. Dual credit gives motivated, college bound high school students the opportunity to get a “jump start” on college by earning college credit before attending on a full-time basis. Credit earned under this program will be applicable toward a degree at Mayville State and is generally transferable to other accredited colleges and universities. |
Who Can Take Dual Credit Courses?
Students enrolling at Mayville State University in courses eligible for dual credit must follow the admissions processes established by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, the North Dakota University System, and Mayville State University. High school sophomores, juniors, or seniors with a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average and permission from a school administrator are eligible to enroll in courses at Mayville State University which are accepted as dual credit by the high school where the student attends.
Under North Dakota University System Policy 402.1.1., effective Fall 2012, dual credit students enrolling in ENGL 110 College Composition I will be required to have an ACT English sub-test score of 18 or higher or an equivalent approved assessment.
