Concurrent Enrollment FAQ

Wichita State offers concurrent enrollment courses at a differential tuition rate of $149 per course. This is a reduced tuition rate available only for concurrent enrollment courses. There is also a one-time, nonrefundable $25 admission application fee due at the time of enrollment. Dual enrollment course textbooks are an additional charge.

This tuition rate is assessed per course, regardless of the number of credit hours. The same course on campus would cost $750 to $1,250, depending on the number of total credit hours.

Students who participate in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program will be eligible for one $149 scholarship for their Early College course tuition per semester. Scholarship applications must be submitted at the time of enrollment.

• Complete a concurrent enrollment application via the specialized application link that your concurrent teacher has provided.
• Pay for your concurrent course through the myWSU portal

Wichita State University is fully accredited by the North Central Region of the Higher Learning Commission. Therefore, WSU credits transfer to many colleges nationwide.

Students will have access to an official WSU transcript with their courses and grades to send to any other college or university. If you are concerned about how courses will transfer, contact the college or university you are interested in attending, and ask about transfer credits.

Each institution has their own policies concerning the acceptance of transfer credit. If credit is not accepted as transfer credit at another university, more than likely the school doesn't have an equivalent course, or has a limited number of elective credits they allow students to transfer.

You may view and print unofficial copies of your transcript through your myWSU account. Log into myWSU, select Banner Self Service, Student Menu, Student Records and then Academic Transcript.

Official transcripts can be ordered by following the steps outlined on the Registrar's Office website at wichita.edu/registrar. If you order a transcript before the end of the course, select "Hold for Grades" to send the transcript once your grade has been officially posted. There is a $12 fee to send official transcripts.

If you choose to enroll in concurrent enrollment, it is important to know that your grade in the course will be part of your official, permanent college record and placed on your WSU transcript. To send your official WSU transcript to another college or university for transfer credit, please visit wichita.edu/transcript. There is a $12 fee to order a transcript. Unofficial transcripts may be accessed and printed for free at myWSU.wichita.edu.

Academic dishonesty is one of the most serious mistakes a student can make in college courses. Lying, stealing, bribing, influencing or cheating to get information to improve or obtain a particular grade leads to severe consequences. Plagiarization is taking credit for someone else's work or indicating someone's ideas are your own. Disciplinary actions range from an F grade for the assignment / test to dismissal from WSU.

Concurrent enrollment students who decide to continue their education at Wichita State as a college freshman will need to reapply for admission. You must submit a degree-bound application for admission and submit current, official transcripts. Please note that concurrent enrollment admission does not guarantee admission as a degree-bound student after high school graduation.

At the time of application, all students will sign their application indicating they have read and understand the expectations and responsibilities of an early college student. The expectations and responsibilities are as follows:

1. I understand I will be admitted as a high school guest student. To be considered for degree-bound admission to Wichita State, I understand I will need to submit an additional application for degree-bound admission to the Office of Admissions.
2. I understand I will NOT be allowed to enroll in future guest semesters at WSU unless I maintain both a 2.00 Wichita State GPA and a 2.75 high school unweighted, cumulative GPA.
3. I understand I must meet all program requirements and have test scores on file at the time of enrolling at Wichita State.
4. I understand any grades I earn as a student through Wichita State will become part of my official, permanent college record. Any college course I take during high school will count towards my cumulative collegiate grade point average and could be considered in the future for scholarship purposes. My academic record could also be considered relevant as part of my degree-bound admission at Wichita State University or any other institution.
5. I understand my final Wichita State University concurrent enrollment partnership grade may be different from my final high school grade according to grading standards set by the WIchita State academic department. WSU grades are entered by the instructor of record for the course through WSU's grade entry system.
6. I understand I will not be able to enroll unless I am in good financial standing with Wichita State. A late fee of $100 will be assessed for any missed or late payments. All existing bills, including parking and library fines, must be paid before my enrollment will be completed.
7. I understand I must check my myWSU account regularly throughout the semester of enrollment to verify that my course schedule and bill payment records are correct. Upon admission, I will receive a letter from WSU that includes my myWSU ID number. This information is necessary to access my myWSU account. I will safeguard my ID number and password and I will not share it with others.
8. I understand that if I plan to attend a college or university other than Wichita State after high school graduation, I must contact that institution to determine if WSU courses are accepted in transfer. It is recommended that I contact the department office of the major I am considering. Institutions have differing policies regarding how many transfer hours are accepted and what equivalencies exist.
9. I understand I must immediately contact the Early College Team if I wish to drop a WSU class after I have been enrolled. Failure to do so may result in significant financial obligations to the university.
10. I understand that I must contact the Early College Team by the withdraw deadline to withdraw from my course with a "W" on my transcript in order to get a 100% refund for my course.
11. I understand that regardless of my age or payment responsibility, only I will have access to my academic records at Wichita State University. WSU will not share my grades or other records with individuals, including parents and guardians, without my prior written consent (Section 438 of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974).
12. I understand once my enrollment is complete, I will have access to Ablah Library's online and on-campus resources.
