Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment Program

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University, in partnership with local high schools and homeschool students, is pleased to offer qualified students an opportunity to enroll in college courses while still attending high school. The dual enrollment program is designed for high school students who demonstrate maturity and scholastic ability to be successful in college work within the college classroom. This program is designed to allow high school students to utilize Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University on campus resources to provide extra enrichment and challenge to their high school education. Students will earn both high school and college credit for the courses in this program, with final grades appearing on the permanent transcripts of both the high school and Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University. Recommendation for enrollment by the high school principal or counselor is required. Home school students will need to submit a letter of recommendation from a coach, church leader, or a community organization leader. All schedules are subject to the approval by the appropriate high school official and the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University Office of Admissions.

For students to enroll in Dual Enrollment courses, they must meet the eligibility requirements as outlined below and complete a Dual Enrollment Student Application. Please note that high school students can earn a maximum of 30 credits from FranU while participating in the Dual Enrollment Program.

NOTE: It is incumbent upon all students and parents to determine the transferability of Dual Enrollment courses to other institutions. For in-state institutions, FranU courses can be cross-referenced using the Statewide Articulation Matrix to determine transferability. Out-of-state institutions should be consulted to determine transferability.
