Andrews University

Andrews University Dual Enrollment Process
Fall 2018 semester begins August 27

Your student must submit either ACT (min. score of 20) or SAT scores on the enrollment form to determine the level of classes one can take.  Andrews also has a placement test if your student does not have one of those test scores yet.  Only 2 classes are allowed by Andrews per semester (you could take more at another location). 
Open to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors only, age 16+.
Registration begins April 1st for Fall semester, in October for Spring semester.

Registration contact person: Cassie Heslop: precollege@andrews.edu
Advising contact person: 

Dual enrollment students can take any class except for religion, craft/hobby, phys ed or remedial.   Dual enrollment courses can be core subjects as long as they are taken for college credit only, non-core subjects can be taken for both high school and college credit.  ​ To get the college classes you need, you may register before partnership registration opens.  

Once you have met with an advisor and have the registration form filled out with classes selected and test scores filled in, send the form to Sharon to sign and we will fax it to Andrews.

Fall 2018 Registration Information
1. Please download a fresh copy of the Registration Form. 
2. Complete the New Guest Form at andrews.edu/apply
3. Students who have taken ESL classes during high school years will need to add evidence of their English proficiency at a level ready to excel in college.  Please email (for continuing students) or upload into the application online (for new applicants) evidence. Two options:

• A TOEFL or equivalent standardized English proficiency test (see list of accepted scores) is recommended and preferred.
• An SAT EBRW score of 510 or higher, or ACT Reading and English score of 20 or higher will be considered for dual enrollment students

4. We are checking that both college GPA and high school GPA meet our minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA requirement with every registration, not just in the application term.  Please be prepared to show evidence of GPA accordingly.
 
While some students are connecting with faculty who naturally mentor and inspire career directions through class interaction, we would like to provide advising access to all students thinking about career paths.  Rather than just taking classes friends have enjoyed, or parents consider fitting, a 20-30 minute appointment (on campus or via video conferencing) with one or more Andrews University advisors could spark new interests and establish earlier understanding of career paths.  Please email me (Cassie Heslop) the names, emails and general area interests of any sophomores, juniors or seniors, who would like to learn more about college and career paths – whether they plan to attend Andrews University or not.

Please review time management skills and all activities planned before signing applications. While 90% of high schools who are approved at our current admission criteria thresholds are thriving, those who struggle most commonly do not schedule enough hours. They need to have at least 3 hours of focused study per credit per week for each college class. For example, a 4 credit calculus class will need 12 hours per week - that's 2 hours per day, 6 days per week! Top students who are committed to multiple extra-curricular activities underestimate the time it will take to succeed in a college class, which is very different from the high school classes they've often been able to get good grades in with minimal effort.  Students need to be mature for their age, self-motivated, and proactive in problem solving.

How to buy books:  
Andrews has a voucher system. You must come to the mandatory book supply day at BSHS in late August. If you do not receive the books you need at that time, you will be given a voucher to purchase the required books through Andrews book store.
