Dual Credit/Enrollment

Information about required textbook(s) and course materials is included on the payment form.  Note that the charges for all required digital course materials are automatically added at the time the student is registered for his/her course(s). If a non-digital course material is required, students can contact the bookstore at 573-897-5333 or bookstore@statetechmo.edu for additional information.

Full payment of tuition is due at the time of registration.  Students who wish to register for a subsequent semester(s), must have all of their financial obligations to the college paid in full before registering for a subsequent semester(s). Please refer to the Financial Responsibility Agreement. Questions regarding payments should be directed to billing@statetechmo.edu.

After a dual credit/dual enrollment application is submitted, an email is sent to the applicant to the email provided on the application. The email will provide the applicant’s student ID number, MyTech username, and temporary password. Students will need this information to access their State Tech student email account and their courses in State Tech’s Learning Management System (LMS), Canvas.

It is extremely important that dual credit/dual enrollment students check their State Tech student email daily after they submit their application as email is State Tech’s official method of communication to students.

To recover your password and/or MyTech username, call the IT Helpdesk at 573-897-5200.

Courses may be added throughout the registration period only. Students may withdraw from a class during the first three quarters of the class. For example, if the course is 16-weeks, students can withdraw up to and including Week 12. Withdrawal during this time will be recorded on the transcript as “WD”.  After that time has elapsed, withdrawals are not allowed, and instructors will assign a letter grades.  Withdrawal dates can be found by clicking on Financial Refund and Add/Drop Dates menu item at the bottom right of the Financial Aid Office website.

To drop a course, a completed Add/Drop Form must be submitted to the Registrar.  The Add/Drop Form is can also be found on MyTech.

In order to be eligible to receive a 100% refund, courses must be dropped prior to five days after the start of the class. If a course is dropped after the 100% full refund date, the student is responsible for 100% of tuition and fees.

Every school district has different policies in place concerning dual credit/dual enrollment. Students should consult with their counselor or principal before dropping any State Tech courses to ensure that they will still be on track to graduate.

Students should remember they are enrolled at State Tech through the Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Program and are considered college students. As such, dual credit/dual enrollment students are expected to take responsibility for their education. These responsibilities include payment of fees, meeting course and State Tech deadlines. See the Student Code of Conduct.

Upon the completion of a dual enrollment or dual credit course(s), the instructor of the course will assign an official final grade. Grades are assigned based on a using a 0.0 — 4.0 GPA scale F= 0.0- A=4.0). The official/final grade a student earned in a dual credit or dual enrollment course is part of the student’s permanent State Tech college record and cannot be deleted or dropped. After all the official/final course grades have been posted to the student’s transcript, they will be available on MyTech.

College credit earned at State Tech through the Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Program may be transferable to other post-secondary institutions according to the post-secondary institution’s transfer policy. This is to say, not all State Tech dual credit/dual enrollment courses are transferable. Students are encouraged to contact the Director of Admissions or Registrar at the college or university of their choice for questions regarding acceptance and transferability of State Tech dual credit/dual enrollment courses.

To request a State Tech transcript to send to another post-secondary institution, students must complete a Transcript Request Form and submit to the Registrar. Transcripts will not be issued until the student’s financial obligations to State Tech are paid in full.

According to FERPA (Family Educational Rights Privacy Act), high schools accepting college credit for high school credit have a legitimate educational interest in obtaining certain information about students that parents/legal guardians may not. Therefore, post-secondary institutions including State Tech can share information with the high school based on legitimate educational interest but it may not do so with the parents/legal guardians of the high school students enrolled as a dual credit/dual enrolled student.

In other words, because the parent has privacy rights at the high school, the parent can still approach high school teachers and counselors about their student’s progress in dual credit/dual enrollment course(s). However, State Tech faculty and staff who are approached by the parents/legal guardian of their high school student should refer the parents back to the high school for any and all information.
