Dual Credit

Since you will be enrolling in college-level courses, you must complete course placement tests and satisfy course prerequisites when applicable to assure you have the same qualifications and preparation as other college students. You will be required to take the Accuplacer placement test and/or submit qualifying Advanced Placement (AP), ACT or SAT scores.

1. Contact your high school counselor for student eligibility and dual credit course offerings.
2. Complete Placement testing or submit appropriate ACT/SAT/AP scores (if applicable) to your high school counselor.
3. Check to see if the dual credit course you wish to take has a prerequisite.
4. Complete the online dual credit application during the registration period. (Contact your high school counselor or instructor for dates/deadlines)
5. Once the dual credit online application has been received and processed, you will receive an email to your personal email within 24 hours indicating, Student Identification number, Moraine Valley student email address and payment instructions, if your course has a dual credit fee.  Activate your Moraine Valley student email account and frequently check it to remain up to date on communication related to Moraine Valley.
6. Pay for your dual credit course fees (if applicable) either online, in-person or by phone by the appropriate deadline.

Dual Credit students must meet the same individual course requirements as on-campus MVCC students. Visit the testing center page for scheduling information.

Dual Credit students do not qualify for financial aid. To qualify for federal grants and loans, the federal government requires students to have received a high school diploma or its equivalent.

The Advanced Placement (AP) program and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) both allow students to gain college credit in various subject areas by successfully completing comprehensive examinations in those subjects.

Contact your high school counselor for more information.
