Dallas International University invites high schoolers to take college courses for dual credit. For each course, students earn credit toward their high school degree and receive credit on a college transcript. Our dual enrollment courses count toward satisfying General Education requirements at DIU, but as a SACSCOC (https://sacscoc.org/) accredited school, our courses are fully transferrable to other colleges and universities. DIU provides dual enrollment courses for homeschooled students as well as students that attend a partnering high school.

To apply for Dual Enrollment at DIU, students must be at the sophomore, junior, or senior level of high school. Students must either attend a private high school with whom DIU has a Dual Enrollment partnership, or be homeschooled. If a student attends a private high school that does not have a Dual Enrollment partnership with DIU, e-mail dual-enrollment@diu.edu to request that we consider a partnership with their school.
What are the age requirements for Dual Enrollment?
Students must be at the sophomore, junior, or senior level of high school education to qualify for Dual Enrollment at DIU. If students want to attend classes in-person on campus, they must be at least 16 years old.
Where can I find the time each Dual Enrollment class is offered?
Students can find the time and days on which a Dual Enrollment course is offered in the Course Schedule, which is in the main menu of the DIU website under Academics –> Catalog & Courses –> Course Schedule.
Will Dual Enrollment credits transfer to another university?
DIU is regionally accredited by SACSCOC (www.sacscoc.org). Any Dual Enrollment courses taken at DIU are fully accredited and transferrable to other academic institutions. Students should be aware of the requirements of any BA program they intend to pursue and the possibility that Dual Enrollment courses may transfer into other universities as electives (rather than satisfying part of a specific BA program requirement). Students should consult with their DIU academic advisor and any other personal advisors on their choice of Dual Enrollment courses.
