Students wishing to receive an accommodation in their course will need to register with the Office for Student Accessibility.

• Students receive Thomas More University credit for each dual-credit course taken and passed. These credits are transferable to other accredited colleges and universities, subject to each institution’s transfer policies.
• To remain in the Dual-Credit Program, students must maintain a cumulative Thomas More GPA of 2.0. If a student’s GPA falls below a 2.0, they will have to sit out a semester and apply for reinstatement if they wish to participate at a later date.
