Dual Enrollment Program

The UMSL Office of Precollegiate Student Services (PSS) is excited to collaborate with the College of Arts and Sciences to offer a Dual Enrollment program for area junior and senior high school students.  The purpose of dual enrollment is to provide advanced high school students the opportunity to take college-level coursework. Students will have the ability to expand on core high school academic subjects while simultaneously accelerating their goal of earning a college degree.

The PSS Dual Enrollment program will provide students with exposure to college life and the rigor of college course expectations.  This is an opportunity available to a limited number of students. Admitted students would be eligible to enroll in the English online course for the Fall and an additional online course in the Spring. Students must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA in order to re-enroll for the Spring.  

ONLINE COURSE DATES
The Spring 2023-English 1120- Introduction to Literature is a three-credit online course. This course will be conducted in a hybrid learning model whereby students are involved in face-to-face instruction and self-directed learning. Blended learning enables the course participants to work together, engage in discussions, and provide useful feedback to one another, which undoubtedly leads to improvement and higher engagement.

POST-REGISTRATION
Once a student has been accepted into the Dual Enrollment Program, they will receive an email confirmation from UMSL which will include their student ID number. Student ID numbers are assigned to all UMSL students and will be required to access student academic records.

Included in the same email, students will be issued a user ID and a temporary password for logging into MyView, an online service for students that allows them to easily request transcripts, check grades, and keep up with their schedules. Once a student logs in with a temporary password, the student will be prompted to create a new password. It's important to keep track of your username and password for MyView. If you do lose or forget your password, please visit the password recovery page.

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS

UMSL student ID cards can be acquired at the Triton Card Office. A driver’s license, state ID, passport, or other government-issued photo identification is required to obtain a UMSL student ID. These cards are valid for the duration of the course(s) in which the students are enrolled and will allow the students access to University of Missouri-St. Louis libraries, on-campus activities, and sporting events. A valid ID card is required to use any UMSL facility.
