Congratulations! Taking a college course while in high school has many benefits, including, most importantly, helping you become more prepared for the academic expectations of college.
Dual Enrollment Process:
- Enroll in the course at your high school that is approved for dual enrollment.
- Register for TCNJ credits at the beginning of the course on the TCNJ website. You must register for TCNJ credits by November 1.
- Submit the fee for the dual enrollment course online. You will be charged $550 for each course.
- Participate in the high school course. Be sure to complete all assignments and meet all attendance requirements throughout the school year.
- At the end of the course, your high school teacher will submit grades to TCNJ. Students need to earn a grade of C or higher to earn the college credit. The grade you earn in your course is the grade that will be recorded on your TCNJ transcript.

- The grades earned in dual enrollment courses are included in the GPA calculation for future TCNJ students.
- Students who do not pay at the beginning of the course are not eligible to earn TCNJ credits.
