Andrews University Dual Enrollment Process
Open to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors only.
Registration begins April 14 for Fall 2020
Registration contact person: sderegister@andrews.edu
Fall Academic Calendar
Fall 2020 Registration Information from AU:
Registration is Now Open for Andrews University 2020-2021 Classes
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. You must also take one other Partnership class in order to take 1-2 dual enrollment courses.
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.
The advisor can be reached at 269-471-6323 or at sderegister@andrews.edu
IMPORTANT:
To get the college classes you need, you may register before partnership registration opens. One other Partnership class is required (community or virtual) in order to take any dual enrollment class. If one dual enrollment class is taken, the student must take one but may take up to 3 community or virtual classes. If the student is taking 2 dual enrollment classes, the student must take one and can only take that one community or virtual class.
Information from AU Advising:
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 (via video conferencing) with one or more Andrews University advisors could spark new interests and establish earlier understanding of career paths. Please email precollege for an appointment.
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 will be given a voucher by Sharon to purchase the required books through Andrews bookstore approximately one week before school begins. The student MUST ATTEMPT to return all books to the bookstore during the buy-back period. All rentals must be returned promptly upon the end of the semester. All books and supplies purchased must be presented for buy-back; if the bookstore accepts them, the funds must be returned by the student to BSPS unless the bookstore can issue a credit. If the bookstore does not accept the books or if the supplies were consumable, the student must show proof from the bookstore of the rejection.
Withdrawal and failing policy: If a student enrolls in a college class and withdraws from that class after the college's refund/transfer window, or receives a failing ending grade, he or she will not be eligible to take future dual enrollment classes through the Partnership. Parents have the option of reimbursing BSPS for all tuition and fees incurred in order to maintain their dual enrollment eligibility status. If the student fails to reimburse the school, the student may not participate in the partnership in the future.
Open to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors only.
