Attention Districts & High School Administrators
Bellarmine University, in alignment with SACSCOC guidelines, determines which courses are eligible for dual credit. High school students may only register and pay for dual credit tuition if the college courses they enroll in:
- Fulfill high school graduation requirements
- Allow students to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously
- Meet eligibility criteria for the Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship
Important Enrollment & Data Deadlines
Students CANNOT enroll in dual credit courses until the school district has signed the Dual Credit MOA.
CPE Snapshot Deadline – This is the final deadline for Bellarmine University to report official dual credit enrollment data to the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). No additions will be accepted after this deadline.
| Deadline | Fall Semester | Spring Semester |
| Priority Registration Deadline | March 1 | October 1 |
| CPE Snapshot Deadline | October 31 | March 29 |
Course Content: What to Expect
Dual credit courses are college-level and follow the same curriculum as those taken by full-time university students. Some general education courses may contain adult content.
What You Can Do:
- On the first day of class, students and parents/guardians may review course outlines and textbooks to ensure the course aligns with their expectations.
- Course material cannot be modified to accommodate high school preferences—these are college courses with rigorous academic expectations.
We appreciate your partnership in ensuring students are prepared for the college experience while earning valuable dual credit!
