Dual Enrollment
The UAS dual enrollment program was created for school district students who seek the challenge of college instruction. These students have either exhausted high school course offerings, have shown solid ability and/or are highly topic-focused. Qualified high school students 16 years of age and older may enroll in one or two UAS courses per semester while still in high school by providing the below documentation. Select students under the age of 16 may enroll in courses at UAS by providing the below documentation along with additional approval from a representative from the academic department (Dean, Chair and Instructor). Dual enrollment students will be required to meet with the UAS representative and obtain their signature before registering for the course.
To enroll, students must present the following:
- Signature of approval from a high school representative on Dual Enrollment signature form (PDF | 62KB)
- Parental signature on Registration form (PDF | 76KB)
- Official high school transcript (showing a 3.0 GPA or higher).
- Signature of Dual Enrollment advisor at UAS.
Students are not required to apply for university admission. Students may continue to take UAS courses as long as high school and college grades are satisfactory and with the above-stated permissions each semester.
All documentation must be on file at UAS before registration can occur. No exceptions can be made. UAS reserves the right to deny or discontinue the enrollment of a student under the age of 18 in a course or courses if the University determines that the student lacks the maturity, or the legal or intellectual ability to participate on an equal footing with the other students.
