Academically talented high school students may apply to enroll at UAH as Dual Enrollment students. Dual enrollment refers to students being enrolled- concurrently in two distinct educational institutions (for example, high school and UAH). Benefits of a dual-enrollment program include: Transferrable college credit Exposure to college-level courses that provide a better understanding of the expectations of college in general Improved skills in time management as well as improved study habits Increased confidence in a student's ability to handle college Upon the successful completion of courses, students seeking Dual Enrollment may receive college credit. There is no limit to how many courses a student can enroll in, and Dual Enrollment students will receive a scholarship equal to the cost of 1/2 tuition per class!
