Dual Enrollment Policy

This policy allows eligible high school students to dual enroll in select courses at Ensign College and receive college credit.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Be at least 16 years-old and complete 10th grade of high school or its equivalent
  • Obtain and maintain an ecclesiastical endorsement
  • Commit to and abide by the Church Educational System (CES) Honor Code and CES Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations and other Ensign College policies and procedures
  • Meet all course prerequisites (if any)
  • A parent/legal guardian or school official completes the Dual Enrollment Registration Form on behalf of the student, and confirms that the student is academically, socially, and emotionally prepared and capable to succeed in a college environment
  • If completed by a school official, the school confirms consent of the parent
  • If Ensign College has an MOU with the student’s high school, the student must obtain approval from a high school official at the participating high school
  • Show evidence of current enrollment in a high school or equivalent

If the college has an MOU with a high school, any exceptions to these eligibility requirements must be agreed to in writing by Ensign College and the high school.

Ensign College retains sole responsibility and control over the decision of whether each student meets the requirements necessary to register in Ensign College courses. Ensign College transcripts will show courses taken and grades earned, which information is part of the student’s permanent academic record. Dual enrollment students are limited to fifteen credit hours per semester.

Counseling

A student is encouraged to meet with his or her high school counselor prior to registering for Ensign College dual enrollment to ensure classes fulfill high school graduation requirements and are not repeats or redundant to a prior course.

Dual Enrollment Credit Transferability

Other institutions of higher education that a student may subsequently attend make decisions about their acceptance of dual enrollment course credits. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the receiving institution on the transferability of dual enrollment credits. Ensign College makes no guarantee how credits will transfer to another institution.

Financial Aid and Scholarships, Employment, and Housing

Federal and institution financial aid and scholarships are not available to dual enrollment students. Ensign College student employment and preferred student housing are not available to dual enrollment students.

Reporting Requirements

As a responsible employee under the Sexual Harassment Policy , faculty should be trained on and aware of reporting requirements related to sexual harassment and mandatory notification requirements of abuse or neglect of minors under Utah law.
