Dual Enrollment allows academically talented students to earn college credit while still in High School. Since 2003, the University of Nebraska at Omaha and area public high schools have partnered to provide this opportunity to students. The courses are the Advanced Placement course taught at the area public high school by High School staff who have been selected by UNO to be adjunct faculty.

Besides costing less than 1/4 of actual tuition and fees for the same course at UNO, Dual Enrollment provides the opportunity to earn college credit with a grade, while still in high school. As an underclassman, high school students can demonstrate to competitive universities and scholarships that they have succeeded at a high level in a rigorous, accredited college course. With college credits earned in high school, as a new college student, students have the opportunity to have more time to pursue college courses for a double major, graduate from college early, or slightly lessen their course-load.

The cost is $200 per course. This is a flat fee and is the only cost for the course. If a student plans to apply to UNO at a future date, the application fee will need to be paid. A UNO billing statement will be sent shortly after course registration explaining how to pay.

No. All Dual Enrollment courses are taught by high school staff at your high school as part of the Advanced Placement course. However, as a Dual Enrollment student, you will have expanded access to the UNO library, with the ability to check out books and utilize far more resources than high school students generally have at UNO's library.

The faculty at UNO and the staff at the high schools work together to determine which classes meet the academic requirements of the Dual Enrollment Program. Please check with your high school Guidance Office for detailed information on eligible classes.

Coursework completed through the Dual Enrollment Program is posted in the same manner as other UNO collegiate coursework showing credit hours and grade earned.

Acceptance of Dual Enrollment credit is completely up to each college or university. When visiting colleges, please ask how they handle Dual Enrollment credit. (UNO is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.) Course credits are generally accepted by other member colleges and universities and by those accredited by other regional accrediting agencies. Some universities have a general statement that states the university policy on transfer of credit on their website.

Dual Enrollment applications are available from your high school administration. Students must complete a separate Dual Enrollment application for each class for which they would like to receive credit. The forms are submitted to the participating teacher and forwarded to UNO by the high school counselor.

No. If a student plans to attend UNO after high school, a regular Application for Undergraduate Admission must be completed and the application fee must be paid. Undergraduate applications are available on our web page at www.ses.unomaha.edu or at your high school Guidance Office. In order to be considered for scholarships, a student must have the application submitted by February 1st.

The student will need to submit a transcript request form to have your official UNO academic records sent to another university. There are no fees for transcripts and a transcript request can be completed in one of four ways. You may submit the request via the web using your Personal Identification Number (PIN), which was sent when you applied to the Dual Enrollment program. Requests submitted via the web are done by logging into E-BRUNO and selecting "Order Official Transcript." Click here to login to E-BRUNO. Other options to request the transcript are either to submit the request in person at the Registrar's Office, via fax, or via letter. The complete transcript request procedures are available at:

Please contact Kelly Malone at 402-554-3810 or the Registrars Office at 402-554-2314 to have it mailed to you.

“When a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a postsecondary institution, regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer from the parent to the student.”

This means that only students can request transcripts at postsecondary schools like UNO. The two exceptions: if the student has signed a release of this information and provided a copy to the Records & Registration Office, or if the parents provide a copy of their tax return showing the student is a dependent.

It is the responsibility of each student to register for and drop or withdraw from Dual Enrollment classes at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in accordance with stated University policies and timelines. If you do not attend classes they will remain on your record and you will owe all fees for them. No staff member at your high school will drop classes for you as they are not authorized to do so. You must take care of it yourself. No exceptions to this will be made. Once a student registers for Dual Enrollment, no part of the Dual Enrollment fee will be refunded.

Any student who wishes to drop/withdraw from his/her Dual Enrollment course must check the timeline and notify the Dual Enrollment officer at the University of Nebraska at Omaha at 554-3810 or send the requests via fax or U.S. mail. The course will be processed based on the dates appearing on the fax at 554-4896 or U.S. mail post mark. Students are still obligated to pay the $200 fee even if the course is dropped.

The last day to withdraw from the Fall 2007 term with a grade of a 'W' is November 9, 2007
The last day to withdraw from the Spring 2008 term with a grade of a 'W' is March 28, 2008

Please contact your high school representative to see if you qualify for reduced cost for Dual Enrollment.

Yes. Since these are college level courses for which you are receiving credit, the grades will become a part of your cumulative GPA. If you receive a scholarship that has a minimum GPA requirement, Dual Enrollment courses will be included in that GPA calculation.

The University of Nebraska Dual Enrollment Program is primarily associated with Advanced Placemant(AP) courses.

In a high school setting with an Advanced Placement approved instructor. When the student successfully completes the course, He/She is eligible to register to take the National Advanced Placement Exam given yearly in May. Students will register for the courses at their high school.

The courses offered are Advanced Placement courses through the high school. Once the student completes the course, He/She can take the National Advanced Placement Exam through their high school.

1. UNO feels that a student's performance over the course of a semester or year is more indicative of their subject mastery than an exam taken in one day.
2. If a student is not absolutely certain of their college of choice, the AP exam provides a safety net, since approximately 8% of institutions will not accept dual enrollment credit but will likely accept a high AP exam test score.
