ONLINE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES

Dual enrollment students can get a head start with college while learning online from Southern Adventist University professors. These courses count as credit toward a high school diploma and a college degree and offer high school seniors a taste of college with convenient online scheduling. Students may take up to 6 credit hours per semester through this program. 

Steps to register for dual enrollment classes are below:

  1. The student completes the online application.
  2. Then, the parent and school contact (registrar) are sent an email, asking them to complete a short online form.
  3. Once the parent completes this form, a second email containing payment information is sent.
  4. Once payment and all required documents are received, a decision is made to accept the student.
  5. An email is sent to the student with instructions on creating a Southern account and signing the Financial Responsibility Agreement. This is required in order to be registered.
  6. The student is registered and receives one final email with information on how to access their online course(s).

Most online classes also involve a once-weekly live session in which you will interact with your classmates and professors via video conference.
