If a high school student graduates in June, he/she is not able to take classes under dual enrollment during that summer, session 1 or 2 or extended (or thereafter).  The student
would enroll as a regular “walk-in” (non matriculated) student and pay the full tuition and
fees.  These types of students should complete our standard Walk-In Registration form:
www.lhup.edu/academic/acad_affairs/walk_in_registration_instructions.htm

School districts may apply for grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education
( www.pde.state.pa.us ). These grants may be used for allowable tuition, books, fees,
and transportation.

High school students should check with their principal or guidance counselor to determine
if there is an existing agreement between the school district and LHU and to plan for the student’s financial responsibility and course registration.

Course Registration Information

High school principals or guidance counselors will approve a student’s enrollment in a dual enrollment program based on the student’s high school academic record. The signature on the High School Student Enrollment Form indicates that the student meets the high school’s
requirements for dual enrollment.

Links to the LHU course schedules are on the dual enrollment website ( www.lhup.edu/dual ). Core academic courses such as English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, government, economics, art, music, theatre, history, and geography may be offered.

After deciding upon courses in which to enroll, high school students must complete a
High School Student Enrollment Form: Here, which is also linked from the dual enrollment website.  All signatures must be included.  Incomplete forms will be returned to the student unprocessed.  After submitting a registration form, any changes to the student’s schedule requires written notification (emails are acceptable) to the registrar's office from high
school personnel.

There are certain registration periods in which students may register for courses (please
see Registration Period chart below). The registrar’s office will notify students if the courses selected were not available. High school students who take LHU courses are considered to
be non-degree students.

A high school student may take up to seven (7.0) semester hours during a single semester or summer session. A high school student may earn no more than 24.0 semester hours in any school year (August through July). High school students are encouraged to work with their guidance counselor to determine what courses to take.

Courses taken under the dual enrollment program will be counted as a college level course
at LHU. The courses will appear on the high school student’s LHU academic record for credit, if the student later enrolls at LHU or if the student wants to transfer the course to another
college/university at a later date.  Highschool students are encouraged to visit the PATRAC website, to assist in determining if a course will transfer.  A link is provided on this website. 

High school personnel will determine how the course counts toward high school graduation.

High school students who are interested in enrolling as a college student at LHU must go through the normal application process. Participation in the dual enrollment program does not guarantee admission to LHU.

Registration Period

* Students will be notified only if the selected course is not available.
