Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s a Dual Enrollment course?

  Dual Enrollment courses are Eastern courses offered by teachers at your high school. If your school is one of Eastern’s partnering schools, your teachers can apply to teach Eastern courses. Then, students (like you!) can register for these courses and earn college credits.

• Who can participate in Dual Enrollment courses?

  Juniors and Seniors are eligible to take courses through Eastern’s Dual Enrollment program.

• How much does it cost?

  Dual Enrollment courses cost $25 per credit. Most courses are 3 or 4 credits ($75 or $100). Please contact your School Counselor for more information. 

• Which colleges and universities accept Dual Enrollment credits?

  Dual Enrollment courses will be recorded on an official Eastern transcript. These credit(s) may be used to satisfy requirements at Eastern. If you plan to attend another institution, please check with that school’s Admissions Office for transfer credit policies to determine the transferability of Eastern credits towards their degree requirements.

• What grade do I need to earn to earn college credit?

  To receive credit for a Dual Enrollment course, you must receive a “C” or higher. Anything under a “C” will not be considered as a passing grade, and no credits will be earned. 

• How can I withdraw from my dual enrollment course?

  If you wish to withdraw from your dual enrollment course, we can remove the course from your transcript, but would not be able to issue a refund as the request came in after our drop deadline. 

  Please fill out this withdrawal form, indicating that you would like to be removed from the course. 

• I completed a Dual Enrollment course with Eastern but didn't pay or register using Eastern's form. Is there still a way for me to receive credit for the course?

  Eastern Connecticut State University does not allow retroactive credit. Students must understand that if they do not register online for all Eastern courses they wish to receive credit for by the posted registration deadline, then they will not receive Eastern credit. Students are unable to receive retroactive credit for a course.
