COST

Dual enrollment allows academically talented

students to earn college credit while still

in high school to maximize their time in

advanced classes and get a head start on

their college degree. Courses are taught

at area high schools by high school faculty

who have been approved by their respective

University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO)

academic departments to be adjunct faculty.

Credit earned is based on a student’s

cumulative performance throughout the

duration of the course. Dual enrollment

students shall be held to the same standards

of achievement and grading as those

expected of students taking the same course

at UNO. Courses can range from one to ﬁve

college credits per course.

WHAT IS

DUAL ENROLLMENT?

Advanced Placement (AP) is a separate

way of potentially earning college credit

while in high school. Institutions may

award college credit depending on the AP

exam score earned by the student. Dual

Enrollment grades and dual credit are

not affected by the AP exam score. The

AP Exam is not required in order to

receive UNO Dual Enrollment credit.

FULL STORY

Acceptance of Dual Enrollment credit is up to each college or university. It is the student’s

responsibility to ﬁnd out how the college or university accepts the Dual Enrollment credit.

Students are encouraged to ask colleges and universities the following ﬁve important

questions regarding dual enrollment:

1. Does your institution accept dual enrollment credit?

2. If yes, how would you accept dual enrollment credit from UNO? (i.e. course number and name)

3. If no, ask about Advanced Placement Exam policies.

4. Will I be considered a freshman regardless of the number of credits I bring

in? (Make sure you would still be eligible for all freshman scholarships.)

5. Would the credits I bring to college count against the overall

length and amount of any scholarship I might receive?
