Dual Enrollment: Credit for College Courses
Option 1: Harrisburg University @ Hershey High SchoolBy enrolling in the CiHS Dual Enrollment courses you are eligible to receive transferable credit from Harrisburg University of Science & Technology (HU) which holds Middle States Accreditation. Students have the opportunity to take an AP class and simultaneously earn college credits through Harrisburg University through a financial obligation to the student and family; doing so, a student would forgo taking the AP exam in May.
In general, the acceptance of transfer credits is up to the accepting institution and is dependent on many factors. The standard procedure is that the accepting university will review the course description and syllabus to determine equivalency to a course at the requested university. Credits can be accepted as an equivalent course or as elective credits at their discretion. It is highly recommended that you contact the institution to verify how they will accept the credits. HU will work with you if the receiving university requests additional information. Also, please note you can access the National Student Clearinghouse with your social security number. Courses offered by Harrisburg University are designated throughout the educational planning guide with the symbol: |
