High School Dual Enrollment Program

The Penn State Greater Allegheny High School Dual Enrollment Program offers high school students the opportunity to take college courses on campus for a discounted tuition rate. This enables students to get a real jump start on their college careers by earning college credits while still in high school. Students participating in this Dual Enrollment program may choose from a variety of courses offered at the campus.

Eligibility

Students who have completed their junior year or are currently in their senior year are eligible for dual enrollment. Students will be notified of the decision by US mail. Exceptions for current high school juniors to participate in dual enrollment are made on a case-by-case basis. 

*Students who have graduated from high school may not participate in the program.

To be considered for the program, submit the following documents: 

  • Dual Enrollment Registration Form 
  • A current, official high school transcript, provided by your school 
  • A current standardized test score from one of the following:  SAT, ACT, PSAT, or Keystone  
  • A letter of recommendation from your guidance counselor. 

All documents must be forwarded to Penn State Greater Allegheny Admissions, Frable 123, 4000 University Drive, McKeesport, PA 15132.  Documents can also be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to 412-675-9010.  

Academic Performance

Students will work with an academic adviser to enroll in a maximum of 8 credits per semester. Students can enroll in many lower-division classes, as long as the student has met all required prerequisite courses and has successfully completed any required placement tests. Please review our current course offerings.

Students who maintain a C (2.0) or better grade in each course scheduled are eligible to continue in the Dual Enrollment Program until high school graduation.   

Credits earned under the provisions of this program are valid at any Penn State location and may be transferred to another institution in the same way as any other Penn State credits.

Cost

Dual Enrollment students are offered a Penn State grant-in-aid of at least 50 percent of the cost of tuition for a maximum of 8 credits per semester.  Student technology and facility fees will be charged on a per-credit basis.  Students enrolled in a school district with grants or other funding may be eligible for additional funds to offset some or all of the remaining cost.  

For more information, please email Penn State Greater Allegheny Admissions at [email protected].
