Dual Enrollment Policies and Processes

PURPOSE: The purpose of the dual enrollment program is to promote learning opportunities for Missouri High School and Homeschooled students, enabling junior and senior women to receive both high school and college credit for classes taken through Stephens College.

COURSES AVAILABLE: Courses taken will be “post-secondary” as determined by Stephens College. A student can enroll in any class that does not require a prerequisite. Enrollment is dependent upon space available. Please note that as a women’s college, Stephens College is limited to accepting female students into on in-seat (campus-based) courses. Stephens College courses that are delivered online are open to both male and female high school applicants, who have been promoted to junior or senior standing.

COLLEGE CREDIT TRANSFER: Credit earned in the dual enrollment program will transfer to Stephens College, as well as other Missouri public institutions under the College Transfer Guidelines for state Transfers and Articulation among Missouri Colleges and Universities. Stephens College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

AWARDING CREDIT: At the completion of the course, the Stephens College registrar will notify the high school registrar’s office of the credit to be applied to the high school record.

ATTENDANCE: Students enrolled in a dual enrollment class will be subject to the attendance policy of their High School District. Each student will be responsible for having attendance sheets signed by the Stephens College faculty each class period and turning it in to the high school attendance office on a weekly basis.

TRANSPORTATION: The student is responsible for transportation between schools. Neither the Missouri High Schools, Homeschools, nor Stephens College assume liability in this matter.

SCHOOL DAY: The statutes define the school day is at least three hours of instruction under the supervision of a teacher. Students must be enrolled in supervised classes or study situations for six 50- to 55-minute class periods each school day to be enrolled in this program. A combination of classes taken at either Missouri High Schools, Homeschools, or Stephens College from a period of 6:30am to 10:00pm will satisfy the requirement.

FEE: $500.00 per semester for 3 semester hours, plus lab fees* (A typical course is 3 semester hours)

PRIVACY ACT: All records between the school and the college will be subject to the provisions of the Missouri High School District Policy on Public Records.
