Why take dual credit?
Here are just a few of the reasons to jump-start your college career while in high school:
Interested? Here’s what to do
Before enrolling, we highly recommend you check with our Academic Records office to make sure the course credits will transfer the way you hope they will. All dual credit classes will transfer, but they might only be counted as elective credits. This is more likely if you’re looking at a private school or a college or university outside North Dakota.
Questions? Call our Academic Records office at 701-502-4389.

- Create an admissions account.
Fill out the Dual Credit Course Registration Form then turn it in to your high school teacher. A parent or guardian must sign the form to give you permission to enroll in the course and to show they understand the course has tuition and fees.
When your high school teacher has received all the forms from the class, they will submit them to our Admissions office.
Math and English courses require a qualifying placement score. You may submit ACT or SAT scores or complete the Accuplacer placement exam.
Students should have an application on file with Dickinson State University before scheduling their exam.
There is a $30 fee for each appointment to cover the cost of the exam and proctoring. Fee should be paid online here prior to the exam and a receipt shown at the time of exam.
You can apply for financial aid through the Bank of North Dakota (BND). BND allows you to enroll in two college courses per school year for free if you:
· are a current sophomore, junior, or senior attending a North Dakota high school,
· have received authorization from your high school to take the dual credit course,
· qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and
· turn in the financial aid application to BND during the course enrollment process.
Do you meet all four of these? If you do, go ahead and fill out this Dual Credit Assistance Application.
