Several local school systems and UAH have an agreement permitting high school juniors and seniors to take classes at UAH that may count for both high school credit toward graduation and college credit toward a degree at the university. The same opportunity is available to students at private high schools or to students from other school systems where it is feasible.

High school juniors and seniors who meet the UAH regular admission requirements may, with the approval of their school officials, take classes at UAH and receive credit for courses completed successfully at both the high school and at UAH. Certain UAH classes are approved by the school system (or may be approved by the principal in private schools and in other school systems) for the dual credit agreement

Applying for dual credit enrollment at UAH requires:
(1) completed application for dual credit;
(2) $20 application fee;
(3) official transcript of high school work;
(4) ACT or SAT scores;
(5) written approval by the student's parent(s) or guardian. A maximum of two courses per semester may be taken.
