Early Entry: Not Dual Credit

Early Entry Students

Beginning in Spring 2024, MSU has expanded online dual credit course options to additional 100 and 200 level courses including ACCT 200 Elements of Accounting I, GEOG 103 Multicultural World, Global Issues, HUM 220 History of Music in a Multicultural World, SCNC 101 and Lab Natural Science, and more. 

However, high school students can also enroll in 100 and 200 level courses online or in on the Mayville State campus, even if they are not designated as a dual credit course. Early entry students interested in taking MSU courses not eligible for dual credit will need to submit required documentation allowing enrollment in college courses prior to high school graduation. This includes a signed parent agreement for non-dual credit enrollment. Early entry students taking classes not designated as a dual credit class section will pay the regular Mayville State on-campus or online tuition and fees to enroll.  Students must meet any required class prerequisites to enroll as early entry students and submit a Mayville State University Application. Early entry students will also need to have their high school administrator contact the Office of Admissions to receive the necessary documents.
