DUAL CREDIT
At NorthStar Academy, we accept dual credit from accredited colleges and universities across the US.
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.
- No more than 25% of a student's total high school credits at NorthStar Academy can come through the dual credit pathway.
- A $50 dual credit transfer fee will be charged for each course to be transferred onto NorthStar's transcript.
- Please note that a 3 or 4 credit hour college course transfers in as 0.5 high school credit.
Dual Credit For AP® Courses
NorthStar Academy has partnered with Colorado Christian University (CCU) to provide dual credit for many of our AP® courses here at NSA. Students who successfully complete their NSA AP® course may also get credit for those courses directly with CCU by going through their application process and paying the fee of $200 per course directly with CCU.
This credit is awarded even if the student does not take the AP® Exam and may be a good option for those that are not good test takers. 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.
