Dual Enrollment

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, almost Thanksgiving. I hope all you prospective students have fun plans for the holiday weekend! With that in mind, I hope that you are working on your applications for dual enrollment over the break. This would be a great time to take care of any business.

This is a great opportunity for students to come to the Black Hills State University campus, Rapid City campus, or by using the online format; and meet other students and work with faculty members. By participating in the dual enrollment program, a high school student can make substantial progress toward a college degree before finishing high school, and ease the transition from high school to university life.

Dual Enrollment courses ARE university courses taken at or through BHSU. By taking a dual credit class at BHSU, you may be able to receive credit at both the university and high school level. High School Credit should be approved with your High School Counselor, and could count toward High School graduation. College credit will be granted in all cases as long as you receive a satisfactory passing grade. These credits, including the associated grades, will become part of your permanent High School and University transcripts and records. Thus, you will get a jump-start on your college career.

If you, parents, or guidance counselors have any questions please call me at 605-642-6227 or 605-641-6990. I may also be reached by email at Emily.pier@bhsu.edu . Have a great holiday!
