To transfer credits to another university or college, visit the Duquesne University Registrar Transcript Request page. It is the student's responsibility to determine if the credits will transfer to the university or college of his or her choice.
Duquesne University partners with several area high schools to offer students college-level learning experience before they leave high school. Students learn new and exciting subjects and earn college credits as they discover what college life will be like. In most cases, these credits will be transferable no matter where they choose to go to college.
Student Eligibility
Students who meet all the following criteria are qualified to participate in the program:
- The student is in high school, grades 9-12.
- The student is making satisfactory progress toward fulfilling applicable secondary school graduation requirements, as determined by the School District. The School District will determine satisfactory progress based on credits earned.
- The student demonstrates readiness for college-level coursework in the intended subject area of study, as determined by the high school.
Courses
The following criteria apply to all high school courses:
- The courses are non-remedial.
- The courses are in a core academic subject as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Core subjects include English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history and geography.
- The courses offered to students enrolled for college credit are identical to those offered to students who are not enrolled for college credit, including the use of identical curriculum, assessments and instructional materials.
- The courses enforce prerequisite coursework requirements identical to those enforced for the courses when students are not enrolled for college credit.
Student Registration
Only students who are taking classes for college credit should complete the registration form. A parent's signature is required on the form. Submit registration form with a check to the teacher who is teaching the course. Checks should be made payable to Duquesne University.
The Office of the University Registrar at Duquesne will register students for courses upon receipt of the registration form along with payment of tuition. Registrations will not be processed beyond the published deadline dates of October 31 for fall-term only classes and March 1 for year-long or spring-term classes. Registration in these classes is a binding contract between the University and the student. Students will receive final grades, which will result in an official Duquesne University transcript. If a student does not complete the course, a withdrawal grade ("W") will be issued. Course fees will be assessed, and payment will be due regardless of a student's completion of the course. Payment in full must accompany the registration form, and no refunds will be issued.
