Dual enrollment/dual credit students are those high school students enrolled in both high school and MVSU. Credits earned at MVSU (normally in courses offered at the high school) are applicable to both a college degree and high school graduation.   This is an exceptional enhanced learning opportunity for qualified students.  

Students may enter Mississippi Valley State University after their junior year of high school, provided they meet the following qualifications:

●  Verify a 2.5 grade point average on 4.0 scale on all high school courses, (documented with official high school transcript); a home-schooled student must     submit a transcript prepared by a parent, guardian or custodian with a signed, sworn affidavit to meet the requirement; and

●  A letter of recommendation for admission by your high school principal or counselor.

Admission decisions are made as applications and supporting documents are received; therefore, early applications are encouraged.  Information submitted to Mississippi Valley State University must be true and accurate.  The withholding of pertinent information or the submission of false information may result in denial of admission or dismissal.  The University reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant and to forbid any previously admitted student continued enrollment.
