Dual Enrollment




JMU Outreach & Engagement is proud to partner with school divisions  to offer dual enrollment programs. These programs allow high school seniors to earn college credit while completing their high school diploma, in an environment that offers JMU's high academic standards while creating a continuum of learning between high school and college.  Students can enroll in three ways:

1. Regularly scheduled college credit courses taught at JMU (see our NDS INFO PAGE for more information);

2. Specially scheduled college credit courses, with enrollment limited exclusively to high school students, and taught at the high school;

3. Specially scheduled college credit courses, with enrollment limited exclusively to high school students, and taught on JMU's campus.

 For more information about dual enrollment programs and partnerships with school divisions, please contact Lindsay Aldrich at 540.568.5248 or aldri2la@jmu.edu. 

High school students who have completed their junior year may enroll at JMU as non-degree students. They may register for classes in the summer term preceding their senior year and/or during their senior year. While recent high school graduates may register for summer work as non-degree students, this does not constitute admission to subsequent terms.


Students in this program may enroll for no more than two courses during the summer term and for one course each term while attending high school classes.

High school students seeking to register at JMU under this program must submit the Non-degree Seeking Student Application form, a recommendation from the high school principal or guidance counselor, and a transcript of high school grades. Registration must be approved by the head of the department(s) in which the student desires to take a course(s). Should the student enroll as a full-time student at JMU following high school graduation, credits earned, where appropriate, will apply toward degree requirements following the completion of one term. Transfer of these credits to other colleges will be at the discretion of the institution concerned.
