Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Program
Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Program
Registration for the 2026-2027 school year is open from April 1st, 2026 to August 1st, 2026
The Glenville State University Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Program allows students from across West Virginia an opportunity to satisfy high school and college requirements at the same time–hence the name “dual credit.” GSU enrolls over 500 students each semester through an educational partnership with counties across the state. Please email or call Rachel Clutter - Director of Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit to find out if your county participates. Students who take advantage of this wonderful educational opportunity are also saving money, as Glenville State is currently offering dual enrollment courses at the lowest price in the history of the program: $25 per-credit-hour or just $75 per 3 credit-hour course!
Associate Degree Program (Associate of Arts - General Studies)
Students who complete coursework as dual enrollment/dual credit student through Glenville State University are being proactive, as they are getting a “jump-start” not only on a higher education, but also into their careers of choice. Students who complete GSU’s Associate Degree program can potentially graduate from a four-year college two years earlier. This is accomplished by completing an Associate of Arts (AA) degree while in high school by carefully planning and meeting all graduation requirements for both a high school diploma and an AA in General Studies.

Glenville State University, in conjunction with the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) offer students who are interested in pursuing careers in Education, Nursing/Health Sciences, Psychology/Counseling/Social Work, Business, Criminal Justice or Energy Management are offered the following pathway opportunities. These pathways provide students with an opportunity to earn 24-30 college credit hours within their pathway of choice. Students participating in a pathway will receive all tuition and textbook cost at no cost to them at the completion of each term.
***Students will be responsible for the full cost of any course that they withdraw from or do not complete, i.e. receive an FIW as a final grade.*****
Each of the pathways listed above will provide students with a one-year jumpstart on their four-year degree upon completion.

It is important to note that Dual Enrollment courses taken online for college credit only are not covered by state funding. This means students are responsible for paying the cost of tuition and any required textbooks for these courses, since they are not being taken for high school credit.

Program Information
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Dual Credit and Dual Enrollment Courses?
Dual credit courses are college-level courses that are usually taught face-to-face by a qualified high school teacher during the regular school day, where you receive both high school credit and college credit for these courses. Dual enrollment courses are college courses usually delivered via an online platform by a professor outside your high school. Sometimes students are given the opportunity to complete online courses with the assistance of a high school teacher as a facilitator. This means that they are given time during the regular high school day to complete course requirements. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure they are able to submit assignments on the schedule outlined by the online course instructor. Please check with your high school counselor to ensure that online courses will count for high school requirements as well.
- What is the difference between Dual Credit and Advanced Placement?
Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit courses awarded a letter grade for a college-level course that will show on your college transcript. Advanced Placement (AP) courses require a comprehensive exam at the end of the semester. If you do not pass the AP exam at the end of the semester you will need to take that course again in college. That is, you can pass an AP class and still not get college credit. When you pass a Dual Enrollment or Dual Credit course, that credit is already earned.
- Who pays for textbooks?
Students who are not participating in one of the 6 Level UP Pathways are responsible for purchasing the required textbooks for each course they are enrolled in for the semester; unless they are provided by the high school that they attend. Our bookstore provides textbooks and required computer access codes at a flat $27 per credit hour fee-- no matter how much the textbook or computer access code costs by participating in the Barnes and Nobel - First Day Complete Program. To participate in this program, both the student and their parent or guardian must complete the form included below.
Once students are enrolled in the B&N First Day Complete Program, they will receive an email to their GSU student email account, prompting them to order their textbooks. Online textbooks will be automatically uploaded to their Brightspace accounts and physical textbooks can either be picked up at the GSU campus bookstore OR can be mailed to a students mailing address. Please be careful while choosing in-store pick up or shipping. Once you select an option and verify your order it cannot be changed. Once the bookstore receives your order in their system it will be processed and made available for pickup or shipped out to you depending on the delivery option you selected.
You will be responsible for is shipping cost, which is typically $8.
- What happens if I cannot continue a class?
You are required to follow the official Glenville State University Academic Calendar. You may drop one or more courses within the first week without any penalty. You will receive a full refund of your tuition costs (if you have already paid), and the course will not appear on your official college transcript. If you make your decision after the first week of class, but before the tenth week, you will be withdrawn from a course. You will receive a final grade of ‘W’ on your official college transcripts, and you will not be issued a refund. If you need to withdraw from all courses, you have until the Friday before finals week to do so. If you have already paid your tuition bill, you will receive a partial refund based on the time of your withdrawal. This refund scale is outlined in the current college catalog. To drop or withdraw from a course, please use the link provided below.
- Will my credits transfer to another institution?
While our goal is to have you continue your education with Glenville State University, we do understand that you may wish to continue your education with another institution. As a fully accredited institution, Glenville State University is covered under the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission articulation agreement that mandates recognition and acceptance of courses taken across public colleges and universities in West Virginia. It is your responsibility to contact the institutions you are thinking about enrolling in to check on the transferability of your credits.
