How much does it cost for dual credit courses?
When your student enrolls in dual credit classes in high school they are saving you over half of the actual tuition cost of most college credit classes. Depending on the amount of hours your student is enrolled in for dual credit at TWU while attending high school, they could potentially complete their entire freshman year of classes at half the price. Here is an example:
Dual Credit Savings:
A full year of college is two semesters, not including the optional summer semester. High school students can work these classes into their normal high school schedules and earn both the high school and college credit for the same class.

What if I am home schooled?
Home school students must meet the same eligibility requirements as students who are enrolled in a high school, but will need a parent or principal to sign the high school advantage signature form.
When do home schooled students register for classes?
Home school students must follow the same registration deadlines set for traditional college students at TWU.
If I’m a Senior in high school, do I have to reapply for admission to attend TWU in Fall even if I’m currently enrolled in the Dual Credit Program?
Yes. Even though you may be enrolled in dual credit, you still need to reapply and submit new transcripts and SAT or ACT test scores.
How do I get a transcript for the courses I’ve taken through TWU?
A transcript may be requested only by the student to whom the academic record belongs. No Transcript Order can be accepted by phone or e-mail. Print and submit the Transcript Request form and mail to:
Transcript Department
Office of the Registrar
P.O. Box 425409
Denton, TX 76204-5409
There is a $10.00 fee for each copy requested, payable by check, money order or credit card. If you are using a credit card, the request may be faxed to 940-898-3444.
How do I pay my bill?
Students will receive an e-bill from TWU for their dual credit course(s). This e-bill will be available on their Pioneer Portal account. Payment for dual credit courses must be submitted to TWU by the date indicated on the e-bill. If payment is not received the student will be dropped from the course for college credit, but enrollment in the course for high school credit will not be affected. The TWU admissions office will ensure that students are aware of pending drops for nonpayment, but if dropped for non-payment students can re-register for the course until the last registration day September 1 for the fall semester and January 21 for the spring semester. A $50 late registration fee will be assessed for late registration.
