Students are eligible for the Dual Credit Program if they meet the following requirements:

    • Must have a high school unweighted GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Students must complete a Thomas More Dual Credit application (online application and high school transcript). Test scores (ACT, SAT, and/or AP) must be provided if required as a pre-requisite to a course. Completed dual credit application packets do not guarantee admission into the program or acceptance into any specific course. All submitted applications will be reviewed by Thomas More’s Dual Credit program for admission eligibility. 

Continued Enrollment:

Once enrolled in the Dual Credit Program, to register for subsequent semesters a student must maintain a cumulative Thomas More University GPA of 2.0. This requirement is set up to assist students in meeting the goal of successfully earning college credit at the high school level.
