Welcome to the University of Nebraska at Kearney's Dual Enrollment Program.
The Dual Enrollment Program through UNK provides an opportunity for high school students to obtain college credit for approximately one-third of the cost of actual tuition and fees. Classes will be taught at the high school by a high school instructor approved by UNK. The credit earned is applied toward high school credit at your high school and college credit at UNK. The grades earned in Dual Enrollment courses may be the first college grades a student will receive. These grades become a permanent part of the student’s college academic record no matter what institution the student decides to attend after high school graduation.
There are a few steps to enroll for a Dual Enrollment course.
Students who are participating in the Dual Enrollment Program for the first time must apply for admission. Classroom time will be devoted to completing the admissions process. Please check with the high school dual credit instructor or the high school counselor for the exact date and time they will walk you through the admissions process.
In order to complete the admission process, students must bring the following items on the date their teacher plans to help students enroll:
If a student has previously taken classes at UNK, the student will not apply for admission but must meet with the admission representative and request registration through the automated process.
Registration
After you submit your application for admission, you will be eligible to request registration. The UNK Director of Dual Enrollment will visit your high school at the beginning of the semester to assist with the registration process. Your instructor or high school counselor will let you know the exact date.
Students must submit a request for registration and receive parental consent. Students need to have their parent or guardian's email address with them to complete the enrollment request process and will need to know their NUID, which they should have received in an email. The UNK Dual Enrollment Team will help enroll students in the college class(es). Please note: Dual Enrollment students may enroll for a maximum of 11 hours per semester and a total of 30 credit hours prior to completion of their high school requirements.
