Courses taken as Concurrent credit have a signed agreement guaranteeing credit toward your high school diploma. If you are taking course(s) as Dual Enrollment, it is not guaranteed to meet diploma requirements. You will want to consult with your high school counselor before completing enrollment.

Concurrent: Courses are typically taught at the high school by one of your high school teachers. Both high school and college credit is awarded. Concurrent courses require a signed agreement between K-State and your high school.

Dual Enrollment: Courses are typically taught by K-State faculty on one of K-State's campuses or online. College credit is awarded but high school credit is not guaranteed. You should talk to your counselor before enrolling in dual enrollment courses to see if you will be able to use the coursework to meet high school diploma degree requirements.

If you wish to take more, you must be granted special permission which typically requires a meeting with K-State advising staff. Complete the Exception Request form if you desire to take more than 8 credit hours.

If you do not meet the GPA requirements for Pre-College admission, you may request an exception to the admission requirements. Complete the Exception Request form in order to begin this process. Admissions via exception is not guaranteed.

K-State courses are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Courses generally will transfer to most institutions of higher education. Visit the transfer school's website to find specific information on their course transfer policies.
