Dual credit teacher resources

If a pre- or corequisite has not been met, an error will occur in DualEnroll sending a notice to the student that they do not meet the listed requirement and to reach out to the instructor for a waiver; their DualEnroll course status will show as "Student: Request waiver from instructor.”

If the student has completed the pre- or corequisite at another institution, has testing supporting their placement, or is eligible based on previously approved criteria, an override should be entered in MyUI by the instructor of record to allow their registration to complete.  

You will need to communicate to your approved students when the override has been entered and direct them to log in to their DualEnroll account to resubmit their registration request. Course requests must be manually resubmitted in DualEnroll after an override has been entered or it will remain at the "Student: Request waiver from instructor" status—the DualEnroll platform does not automatically resubmit a request after an override has been entered in MyUI.

If you know that an override will be needed, overrides can be entered before the student requests the course if they have a Vandal number; if your students are new, you will need to wait until they’ve been admitted and have had a Vandal number assigned before you can enter an override.

You can pin the My Classes card to your MyUI dashboard for easy access. The My Classes card contains a direct link to the override menu. You can do this by clicking on the three horizontal lines next to the MyUI logo in the upper left corner of your MyUI account, searching "my classes" from the Discover link, and clicking on the ribbon in the upper right corner of the card to save it to your dashboard. 

U of I students are placed into first-year writing courses based on their standardized test scores.  

To enroll in English 1101, dual credit students should have an ACT score of 18-24 or an SAT score of 510-620.  

If your students have taken a standardized test and have scored below the minimum of 18 (ACT) or 510 (SAT) they should not take English 1101 as dual credit. On campus, students whose test scores fall below 18 or 510 are placed into 1101P, a four-credit class designed to provide them with an extra hour of student-centered, small group tutorial sessions, supplemented by individualized support in the Writing Center.

If your students have not taken a standardized test (and therefore have no scores), but you are familiar with their coursework and confident in their abilities to be successful in a college-level English course, you may provide an override in Dual Enroll to allow them to enroll in English 1101.  

Dual credit students must take English 1101 prior to enrolling in English 1102. You may not provide an override for English 1102 for students who do not have standardized test scores and have not already taken English 1101. (That is, dual credit students should not be placed into English 1102 based solely on your confidence in their abilities; they still need to take English 1101 first.)

Teachers should verify that their DualEnroll and MyUI rosters accurately reflect all student enrollments prior to registration deadlines. Any drops or withdraws should be confirmed after posted deadlines.

You can pin the My Classes card to your MyUI dashboard for easy access. The My Classes card contains a direct link to the class list menu. To do this, click on the three horizontal lines next to the MyUI log in the upper corner of your MyUI account, search “my classes” in the Discover link, and click on the ribbon in the upper corner of the card.

Teachers enter mid-term and final grades and grade corrections through MyUI using the Grade Entry card. Pin the Grade Entry card to your dashboard for easy access by searching “grade entry” in the Discover link from the three horizontal lines next to the MyUI log in the upper corner of your MyUI account. Click on the ribbon in the upper corner of the card to save it on your dashboard.

Final grades are not viewable to students until they are processed and posted by the Registrar after the end of term date.

NACEP Accreditation

The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) works to ensure that college courses offered in high schools are as rigorous as courses offered on the sponsoring college campus. As the sole national accrediting body for concurrent enrollment partnerships, NACEP helps these programs adhere to the highest standards so students experience a seamless transition to college and teachers benefit from meaningful, ongoing professional development. To advance the field and support our national network of members, we actively share the latest knowledge about best practices, research, and advocacy. Our national conference is the premier destination for college officials, high school leaders, policymakers and researchers interested in creating an effective academic bridge between high school and college.
