Dual Enrollment Program

Program Overview

A key component of the LSU College Readiness Program, Dual Enrollment allows high school students to take LSU courses right in their own classrooms, earning both LSU and high school credits simultaneously. Dual Enrollment courses can be paired with regular high school classes, high school honors courses, or even high school AP courses.

Benefits

Affordable access to high quality college-level courses that expose students to the high demands and challenges of undergraduate curriculum.

The Choice-Credit Modality offers no-risk access to college-level courses. At the end of the course, LSU will provide each student with a letter grade that they may choose whether or not to transcribe to their permanent LSU transcript.

The Traditional-Credit Modality mimics the on-campus college experience, whereby all final grades are transcribed on an LSU transcript.

Students must meet the Board of Regents’ Minimum Requirements for Academic Dual Enrollment Courses.

The cost for each School/District is $100 per credit hour per course plus any required books/technology.

Under the Choice Credit model, students who complete a dual enrollment course with a final grade of A, B, or C will be given the option to have the course transcribed for college credit. Any final grade of D or F will automatically be converted by LSU to a non-credit grade.

Schools that wish to retain the traditional grading model—whereby all student grades are transcribed—may do so.

LSU provides free mandatory training for all teachers selected by the school.

Teachers are trained by our LSU Instructor of Record to deliver content and provide individualized instruction to create engaging learning experiences and effectively guide students during the duration of the course.

Each department offering LSU courses for dual enrollment has an LSU full-time faculty member serving as the DE Coordinator for that department and one or more LSU faculty members serving as IORs.

LSU Dual Enrollment courses are offered in two delivery models: the Facilitator Model and the Asynchronous Online Model. In both delivery models, the DE courses are taught with the same content and level of rigor as the corresponding courses on campus while students remain in their high school classroom. The LSU Instructor of Record (IOR), who is an LSU faculty member, provides all course materials and assessments.
