High School Students

I’m a junior or senior at a high school that participates in the Dual Enrollment Program. How can I take courses?

If your school district is participating in the Dual Enrollment Program, and you meet school district criteria, you can enroll in courses for both high school and college credit. The credit will be transferable to IUP and many other colleges and universities. As a Dual Enrollment student, you’ll enjoy a 75 percent IUP tuition discount.

You can take one or two courses per semester from the approved course list online or on campus at IUP Indiana, Northpointe, or Punxsutawney.
Contact your high school guidance counselor. He or she must approve your participation and will process the paperwork with you.

Can I take courses even if my high school isn't in the Dual Enrollment Program?

Yes! You can take courses as a visiting high school student if you're a junior or senior with at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Talk to your guidance counselor to determine whether you’re eligible and the courses will apply as high school credit. The credit will be transferable to IUP and many other colleges and universities.

Full tuition is required. For a list of fees, see the Bursar’s Office.
