Things To Know About Dual Enrollment
What is dual enrollment?
Dual Enrollment is an opportunity for high school students to earn college credit while attending their local high school. Courses are taught at high schools by high school faculty who have advanced academic credentials and have been approved to teach these advanced courses by UNO academic departments.
Dual enrollment courses are college courses that also fulfill various high school requirements. For example, a dual-enrolled UNO Biology course may also fulfill high school requirements to count for advanced placement (AP) or honors credit.
Do dual enrollment courses count for college?
Yes. Dual enrollment coursework will appear in the same manner as other collegiate coursework and the student grade will be recorded on a UNO transcript. The grade received for dual enrollment will factor into the student's cumulative GPA at University of Nebraska campuses.
When can students sign up for dual enrollment?
It depends. Students sign up for some courses in the fall and others in the spring. Specific details can be found on your school's dual enrollment landing page which can be located by using the pull-down menu above.
How long are dual enrollment courses(e.g. 1 semester, 1 year, etc)?
Again, this depends. In some cases, a dual enrolled course may only be one semester, while in other cases the course may last the full academic year. More details can be found on your school's dual enrollment landing page.
How do I know what high school credits dual enrollment courses may satisfy?
This information is included with the list of dual enrolled courses on your school's landing page. In some rare cases, multiple dual enrolled courses are aligned with a single high school requirement(e.g. UNO Biology I and II are aligned with AP Biology)

* denotes that students at high schools with 4x4 block scheduling (e.g. Millard West High School or Ralston High School) will complete the above respective UNO dual enrollment courses in two quarters. Fall sign-up corresponds to quarters 1/2 and spring sign-up corresponds with quarters 3/4.
Do any dual-enrolled courses need to be taken sequentially?
In most cases, courses do not need to be taken sequentially. The one exception is for Biology 1450 and Biology 1750. Students must dual enroll in Biology 1450 if they also want to dual enroll in Biology 1750.
Does every High School offer the same courses?
No, dual enrollment courses vary by high school.
