Dual Credit
Dual Credit for High School Students
Campbellsville University partners with over 70 high schools, Christian academies, and home school networks to offer eligible high school students the opportunity to enroll in CU courses for college credit. These are basic general education courses that will fit into most college curriculum.
What is Dual Credit?
Dual Credit is a college level course taken by a high school student that counts toward high school and college credits. You can take classes face to face, online, or through your high school. It is a great way to get a jump start on college courses while in high school.
Who can earn Dual Credit?
Qualifying high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are being taught college level material by qualified teachers may earn college credit while, at the same time, earning high school credit in their high school class. Acceptance into this program is based on academic achievement. The student must meet these requirements by the time he/she is enrolling in the course for college credit. Students who meet the following criteria may apply for admission:
- Currently be a high school sophomore, junior, or senior
- Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0
Dual Credit Cost
The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) sets the current allowable dual credit tuition rate annually. This is a tremendous savings over the regular cost of college courses.

KHEAA also administers the Dual Credit Scholarship program for eligible Kentucky high school students which can help cover the cost of dual credit tuition.
