Where will my courses transfer?
Most General Education courses are part of the Kansas Board of Regents Seamless Transfer System and are guaranteed to transfer to public Kansas colleges and universities.

High school students pay a special tuition rate of just $83 per credit hour. This tuition rate applies only to high school students, and they are eligible for this price thru the summer following their senior year of high school.
Do I have to pay extra fees?
No. All registration and student fees are waived for dual credit students except for online fees. If students choose to take a course online, they will be charged the online fee.
Do I have to purchase books?
Most dual credit classes do not require that books be bought by the student. Please check with the appropriate instructor regarding the status of books.

Yes. Dual credit students must meet admission guidelines for the college and earn acceptable ACT or Accuplacer scores for general education courses. Testing dates will be scheduled with the high school as needed.

If I decide second semester that I would like college credit for a first semester course (i.e., Composition I) in which I was not enrolled, may I enroll retroactively?

No.

If I move out of the area and cannot complete my dual credit class, what should I do?
You must fill out a WSU Tech Add/Drop Form, which you may get from the WSU Tech “Forms page”. Failure to drop will result in a grade of “F” on your transcript.
Will earning college credits while in high school have any effect on college scholarship possibilities?
It could. For example, at some colleges, if you have earned 12 college credits, your college GPA rather than your high school GPA will be used in awarding scholarships. It is also possible that your scholarship or financial aid could be impacted if you drop/withdrawal from dual credit classes. For further information, contact the Financial Aid office of the college or university you plan to attend.
How do I look up my final grades and order my transcript?
Transcripts can be ordered by going to the WSU Tech Transcript Ordering Center.
