Administrative Overview
This section of the guide will outline the various processes involved in dual enrollment. By sharing these “behind the scenes” processes, we hope to increase transparency and understanding.
High School Dual Enrollment Coordinators
Communication regarding the overall schedule of dual enrollment courses and teacher qualifications occurs between UNO’s Office of General Education and Dual Enrollment and a main contact at the high school. The main contact at the high school shares information in a timely manner with their school community.
Responsibilities include:
- Advise students and parents about the benefits and implications of taking college courses.
- Inform students of registration deadlines.
- Disseminate Dual Enrollment information to students and teachers.
- Verify all students meet course prerequisite and GPA requirements.
Dual Enrollment Teachers
The high school teachers participating in the Dual Enrollment Program are vital to offering the high quality, rigorous, college-level experience to students. Teachers certified to teach the UNO curriculum at their high schools uphold college standards for the course.
Responsibilities include:
- Ensure dual enrollment course syllabus aligns with UNO master syllabus.
- Work with UNO faculty coordinators to ensure alignment of curriculum and academic assessment efforts.
- Verify roster accuracy, and inform the Office of General Education and Dual Enrollment of any errors.
- Submit final grades via MavLINK.
- Inform students of registration deadlines.
- Disseminate dual enrollment information to all students in the class.
UNO Dual Enrollment Faculty Coordinators
