Learn About Dual Enrollment at CSM

Dual Enrollment
Kristina Rickard was just 15 and still a student at Great Mills High School when she started college at the College of Southern Maryland through CSM’s dual enrollment program. She is now a physicist for Naval Air Systems Command. Several information sessions on the dual enrollment option at CSM have been scheduled at the college for parents who would like more information.

Parents of high school students are invited to attend the College of Southern Maryland’s Dual Enrollment Parent Nights coming up the next few weeks. Each of the college’s three campuses will offer a Parent Night.

With dual enrollment, high school students can take classes at CSM for college credit, which at the same time satisfying their high school graduation requirements. Benefits of the program include saving money on tuition and getting a head-start on college credits toward a degree. Students in the program pay only half of CSM’s regular tuition rate for their courses. College credits earned at CSM can be transferred to most colleges and universities around the country.

Being admitted to the program is not automatic – the process is competitive. Students have to be able to demonstrate they are ready for college and that they can handle being dually enrolled. Students must apply, complete college level placement options, and submit a signed form by May 15 for the summer semester, July 15 for the fall semester, and Dec. 15 for the spring semester.
