Students who complete college coursework while in high school will, in most cases, receive credit for the work completed, provided it meets the following guidelines:
1. The coursework is completed through a college or university accredited by one of the accrediting agencies recognized by the US Department of Education.
2. Courses may not be remedial in nature.
3. Courses match up (are equivalent in content) with courses offered at Belmont.
4. While any course in which the student receives a passing grade is eligible for consideration as transfer credit, a student must earn a grade of “C” or better in any course which could then be considered for equivalence to a general education, major or minor course at Belmont.
5. For those students who enroll at Belmont, an official transcript from each college or university where work was completed must be submitted to Belmont in order for the appropriate credit to be determined and awarded.
For a preliminary evaluation of your dual enrollment credit, fill out this form.
