Dual Credit
Now offering over 150 credit hours in almost 40 courses!
Certain Indiana Academy courses are eligible for Dual Credit with Ball State University. Students are responsible for the tuition (varies per course) and may receive a college transcript for courses that are successfully completed. Tuition fees for dual credit courses are lower than regular college tuition rates for the same course. The college transcript should allow the transfer of credits to other colleges within Indiana. Check for course acceptance when transferring credits to out of state colleges. Contact Dr. Joel Olufowote at joel.olufowote or 765-285-4136 if you have questions or need additional information.

Important items to keep in mind:
- Actual courses available for dual credit are subject to change. Check with the Guidance Office for the most current list of courses.
- Fall semester enrollment will take place early in fall. Enrollment for spring dual credit courses will start in December and finish in early January. You must enroll during these times if you wish to receive dual credit. Our partner institutions do not allow late or retroactive enrollments.
- Dual credit courses indicated with an asterisk (*) are the second course in a two-semester sequence. Students must enroll in the fall semester course of the sequence in order to qualify for dual credit in the spring semester for courses with an asterisk. Students must enroll and pay another tuition fee for the second course in the sequence during the spring semester. Some courses may have prerequisite requirements. Check with the Guidance Office for an updated and complete list of all prerequisites for dual credit classes.
- Courses with two Academy course numbers listed are the fall and spring semesters of the Academy class. The two semesters together are equal to one semester of the partner institution’s equivalent class. The dual credit grade is based on work from both semesters of the Academy class.
