2. Courses that are pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory
3. Directed independent study courses
4. Study abroad courses
5. Graduate level courses
6. Courses for which prerequisites have not been met
   
   • FAU does not record test scores or transcripts for Dual Enrollment students. If you believe you already meet a prerequisite due to exam credit or another college course (not taken at FAU), then you must request overrides directly from the department over the course.

Dual Enrollment students are only permitted to register for four courses within the College of Business

1. ECO 2013 – Macroeconomics
2. ECO 2023 – Microeconomics
3. GEB 2011 – Introduction to Business
4. ISM 2000 – Information Systems Fundamentals

Any class that you register for must be listed on your Permission Form. Updated Permission Forms can be submitted until the last day of drop/add. After drop/add is over, you will be dropped from any classes that are not listed on your Permission Form.

If you withdraw from a course after the drop/add deadline, you will no longer be eligible to participate in Dual Enrollment at FAU.

Prepare for Registration

As a dual enrollment student, you will register yourself for classes once registration opens. Before registering, you must resolve any prerequisites and/or permission requirements.

Check to see if a class has any restrictions by clicking on the course title (either within the Searchable Schedule or on your MyFAU registration page). You should get a pop-up box that has multiple tabs with detailed information about the course. Select the "Prerequisites" or “Restrictions” tab to see what the course requires before you can register. If there are restrictions listed that you do not meet, you will need to reach out to the department or instructor in order to request registration access. Registration permission is not guaranteed for classes in which you do not meet the listed requirements.

If you are planning on taking a math class, you must first take the ALEKS placement test and achieve the minimum scores. For more information, please contact the FAU Testing Center.

Course selections must be approved by your high school. The signed Permission Form is how high schools indicate approval. We recommend listing alternative courses on this form in case your first choice is not available. If you register for courses that are not listed on your signed Permission Form, you will have until the last day of drop/add to submit an updated Permission Form. After this date, you will be dropped from any courses that are not on your Permission Form.

Grades and Transcripts

[Return to Top]

Final grades are automatically sent to each high school at the end of every semester. Grades earned through Dual Enrollment will be applied to both your high school and FAU record (transcript).

If you need a copy of your official FAU transcript for college applications, admissions, or any other purpose, you must order them online through your MyFAU account. Please be aware that there is a $10 fee per copy.

To order your official FAU transcript: Log in to MyFAU Select FAU Self-Service Select Student Services Click on Student Reords Select Request Official Transcript Follow the instructions on the individual pages
All grades, including a “W” for withdrawal, become a part of your permanent college transcript and may affect subsequent postsecondary admission. Earning a low grade or a “W” in a Dual Enrollment course may result in difficulty meeting future college admissions requirements and financial aid/scholarship qualifications. If you withdraw from a course after the drop/add deadline, or receive a C- or lower, you will no longer be eligible to participate in Dual Enrollment at FAU. Please note that your grade on the FAU transcript determines dual enrollment eligibility. If your school does not issue “+” and “-“ grades, the FAU grade will supersede your high school’s grade.

Frequently Asked Questions

[Return to Top]

• Before Registration:
  • How do I submit the Dual Enrollment application?

    The New Student Dual Enrollment application consists of four parts. Please see the section Apply for Dual Enrollment above for details on the application paperwork. The Online Registration Form will require you to create an account and submit information online. Once this is completed, you can submit the remaining application paperwork via email as PDF attachments to hsdual@fau.edu. If you are a Returning Dual Enrollment Student, you will need to submit a new Permission Form and updated proof of GPA.

    All application paperwork for new and returning students must be received by the deadline date each semester in order to participate in Dual Enrollment. Late or incomplete applications cannot be processed.

  • Do I have to check my FAU email address?

    YES! Once you are admitted into the program, all communication from FAU will be sent to your FAU email address ONLY. You can set your FAU email to be forwarded to another email account if you wish, but you should always communicate with FAU faculty and staff from your official FAU email account. Important reminders and deadlines will be sent to this account, so it is important that you check it regularly. Ultimately, you are responsible for any information sent to your FAU email account.

  • I want to take a math class at FAU. Do I need to take the ALEKS placement test?

    If you do not already have college-level mathematics coursework on your FAU record, then you must take the ALEKS before you can register for a math class. You should not take the ALEKS until after you have submitted a complete Dual Enrollment application and received confirmation that you have been admitted into the program. The ALEKS must be taken within one year of the start of the semester in which you plan to take a math class. It is recommended that you take the ALEKS at least three days before registration opens for the semester. For detailed information on the test, please see the ALEKS webpage.

  • How can I see if there are any holds on my account?
    1. Log in to your MyFAU Account
    2. Select FAU Self Service
    3. Select Student Service
    4. Select Student Records
    5. Select View Holds

    
    The system will display any holds on your account and indicate which office to contact in order to resolve the hold or to receive more information on it.
  • I believe that I have already met a course prerequisite due to exam credit or another college course (not taken at FAU). How can I request a course override?

    Course overrides must be provided by the department over the course you want to register for. We recommend requesting a course override from the department at least two weeks prior to registration.

• During Registration:
  • Where can I see what courses are available?

    You can access the Searchable Schedule to search for classes offered each semester. If a class is not listed on the schedule then it is not being offered for the term

  • How do I register for courses?

    You will be able to register yourself online through your MyFAU account once the registration period opens. You will receive an email with information on how to log in and register for classes once your completed Dual Enrollment application has been processed. Detailed registration steps and video walkthroughs are also located on our Registration Info page. Always pay attention to the last day of drop/add for the term and make sure any changes to your schedule are completed by that date to avoid late fees and unintended course grades.

  • Can I register for a class that is not on my Permission Form?

    Yes, but you will need to submit a new Permission Form with the class listed on it. You will have until the last day of drop/add for the term to adjust your registration and submit a finalized Permission Form. Any new Permission Forms must be filled out completely and have all required signatures. If you are registered for any courses that are not on a signed Permission Form, then you will be dropped from the class(es) after drop/add ends.

  • The class I want to register for is full. What can I do?

    Keep trying! Many students make schedule adjustments throughout the drop/add period (first week of classes) so there is always a chance that space may open up. If a class has a waitlist option, you should add yourself to it. If space opens in the class, you will be notified through your FAU email account.

    You may also want to speak with your guidance counselor about adding some back-up course options. If you’re adding more course options, you can submit additional signed Permission Forms via email to hsdual@fau.edu until the last day of drop/add.

  • How does the Waitlist work and how can I add myself to it?

    Some classes have a Waitlist option. If this is available, you can add yourself to it and thereby “save” your place in line in case a seat opens up. If a spot opens, you will receive an email to your FAU email account and you will have a limited amount of time to login and register yourself for the class. For detailed steps, please see the Registration Info page.

  • I’m getting an error message when I try to register for a course. How do I fix it?

    There are multiple messages that you may receive when attempting to register. Please review the list of common messages from the Issues and Solutions page and follow the directions on resolving the error.

• After Registration:
  • How can I view/print my course schedule?
    1. Log in to your MyFAU Account
