Applying

To apply for High School Dual Enrollment status, students must submit the Application, official high school transcripts, School Authorization Form from his/her high school and a check (made payable to Gannon University) for the full cost of courses. All documents must be submitted together for consideration. There is no application fee for the High School Dual Enrollment Application.

Gannon University’s Office of Admissions will grant the final decision on admissions. To ensure that a student’s experience at Gannon University will enhance his/her high school performance, we ask that students work with their high school guidance counselor or principal to avoid any conflict with regular schoolwork while attending classes at Gannon University.

Admission as a High School Dual Enrollee does not constitute admission to a four-year degree program. We welcome students to apply early in their senior year for a major of their choice.

Seniors:
Seniors with at least a 3.25 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, 1030 SAT (critical reading and math) and/or 1030 PSAT and/or 22 ACT and a rank in the top 25% of his/her graduating class may be eligible for admission as a High School Dual Enrollee. Students applying to take classes starting in the fall of their senior year can take no more than 9 credit hours per semester at any one/or a combination of Gannon's dual enrollment sites.

Juniors:
Juniors with at least a cumulative 3.50 GPA on a 4.0 scale and a rank in the top 25% of his/her graduating class may be eligible for admission. Students applying to take classes starting in the summer following the completion of their sophomore year and into their junior year can take no more than 6 credit hours per semester at any one or a combination of Gannon's dual enrollment sites. 

Registration for Courses

Registration will be coordinated by the Office of Admissions in conjunction with the Registrar’s Office, once a student is accepted as a Dual Enrollee and has paid tuition in full.  Continuing students will be registered in a similar way through the Academic Advising Center.

Deadlines

Spring 2010 - Registration November 24 - December 30, 2009.  No applications accepted after December 30, 2009.

Students are reminded that Gannon courses are available on a first-come, first-served basis.   Also, if there are not enough students interested in a course, that course might not be offered during that semester.

Costs and Payment

Fall 2009 through Summer 2010, the tuition cost is $100 per credit hour (i.e. $300 per 3-credit course) in addition to any applicable lab fees and books.

Students applying for High School Dual Enrollment need to submit payment in full for the courses, including the cost of the credits and any applicable lab fees, at the time of application. Refunds as a High School Dual Enrollee will follow these guidelines: a part-time student will be credited with 80% of the tuition he/she has been charged if he/she withdraws properly within the first week of the semester, 60% if within the second, 40% if within the third. There will be no reduction of the charges after the third week. In terms shorter than a semester, a credit of 75% of tuition will be made for proper withdrawal within the first week of the term and none thereafter. There will be no refund of fees paid.

Continuing Enrollment Eligibility

In order to enroll in subsequent semesters as a High School Dual Enrollee, students must attain a 2.0 GPA in each course from Gannon University. Students must also submit a new School Authorization Form to the Office of Admissions for each semester.

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. T

herefore, 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.
