Any NorthStar student desiring to earn high school credit for a dual credit course from an accredited college or university should seek approval from the Guidance Counselor. Each course that a student wishes to have granted high school credit on NorthStar Academy’s transcript will be evaluated on a case by case basis for credit towards graduation.
NorthStar Academy has partnered with Colorado Christian University (CCU) to provide dual credit for many of our AP® courses and a select number of non-AP® dual credit (denoted “DC”) courses here at NSA. Students who successfully complete their dual credit NSA course may also get credit for those courses directly with CCU by going through their application process and paying the CCU dual credit fee of $200 (for some courses this is a per semester fee, for others, it is a per course fee) directly to NorthStar Academy. For courses denoted with DC in the title, the fee may already be included in the cost of the course.
Dual credit is awarded even if the student does not take the AP® Exam and may be a good option for those students who are not good test takers but who score a C or better in the course. Please note that not all of NorthStar Academy’s AP® courses can earn CCU dual credit through this partnership. More information can be found by clicking the link below.
**Note that, due to changing CCU requirements, this list will be heavily revised for the 21-22 school year.
