Dual credit student resources
As a high school student enrolled in University of Idaho's Dual Credit Program, you have access to various resources and opportunities to support your academic journey.
Below is essential information to help you navigate the program effectively. For further assistance or questions, contact the Dual Credit Office at dualcredit@uidaho.edu.
How to enroll in dual credit
Consult your high school counselor: Confirm that your school offers U of I dual credit courses and obtain the necessary approvals.
Apply and register online: Create a DualEnroll account and submit your application and request courses through the DualEnroll platform. Ensure you use an email you check frequently and your own phone number for timely communications. Dual credit students can enroll in up to 13 credits per semester, with a maximum of 62 credits during high school.
Make an advising appointment: Meet with the student success specialist to discuss course options, major exploration, study strategies, and more.
Confirm funding: Utilize the Advanced Opportunities program or other payment methods. Any remaining balances must be settled within 10 days of the class start date to avoid late fees.
Important considerations
Academic eligibility: Maintain a minimum high school GPA of 2.5 to participate. A U of I cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is required to remain in good standing. Falling below this may result in academic probation, affecting future registrations and financial aid eligibility.
Account setup: Upon admission, you'll receive a Vandal number and access to MyUI, Vandal email and Canvas. Activate these accounts promptly to manage registrations, billing and coursework.
Deadlines: Adhere to all posted dates and deadlines for registration, dropping or withdrawing from courses, and funding requests. Dual credit students taking courses on their high school campus follow the deadlines listed below. Dual credit students taking courses online or on a U of I campus must follow the same deadlines as degree-seeking university students.
Course options: high school campus, U of I campus or online
You can choose to take courses on your high school campus, a U of I campus or online. These courses are recorded on your high school and university transcripts. Coordinate with your high school counselor to ensure that courses taken on a U of I campus or online fulfill high school graduation requirements. Dual credit students are not eligible for federal financial aid and are responsible for any course fees not covered by Advanced Opportunities.
After high school graduation
If you plan to continue your education at the University of Idaho after high school, submit an undergraduate application along with your official ACT or SAT scores and high school transcript. Idaho residents are exempt from the application fee. Ensure you complete the FAFSA by December 1 to be considered for all available scholarships.
If you need your official transcript from University of Idaho dual credit courses, you can visit the Registrar’s Office to order them through the National Student Clearinghouse website. If you need an unofficial transcript, you can access it through the Student Profile page in your MyUI account.
