Dual Credit

You may earn credit from dual or concurrent high school coursework (courses you took in high school that also counted toward college credit).

When you apply to NIU, you’ll indicate that you’ve taken college or university (post-secondary) courses.

To evaluate this coursework for possible credit, we must have an official transcript from the college or university that administered the course; we cannot use your high school transcript to award NIU credit.

It's important to submit your official transcript(s) for any college coursework completed for dual credit as soon as possible so we can evaluate that credit in advance of your meeting with your advisor to enroll in your first-semester classes at NIU.
