Dual Enrollment

Current international High school students may apply for admission as a dual-enrolled high school student. Dual-enrolled students will not be permitted to enroll for more than 12 credits per semester. No more than 24 credit hours may be earned as a non-degree seeking student. Individuals who have earned 24 credit hours must meet application/admission requirements for degree seeking status to be eligible to enroll in additional hours.

1. Application for admission 

Students may apply online

2. Application fee (fee is not refundable)

3. High school transcript

A current high school student should submit a secondary or high school transcript showing all course work completed to date. Transcripts should reflect a cumulative GPA.

4. SAT/ACT/CLT results

If available, applicants are to submit scores for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the Academic Competency Test (ACT). The minimum guidelines for acceptance are an SAT Composite score of 940, an ACT composite score of 18, or a CLT total score of 61. MACU is a “test optional” university, however students who do not take the SAT or ACT will have significantly less MACU funded scholarship options available to them to offset the cost of their education.

5. Course Delivery and Tuition

Course delivery will be online only. Course offerings are restricted to 100 and 200 level courses. Tuition is $100.00 US per credit hour. Payment is expected at registration. If the student becomes a full time, on-campus residential student, all of the tuition paid by the student for his or her first 12 credit hours as a dual-enrolled student will be credited back to the student in his or her student account.

FAQs

• All applicants secondary or high school transcripts will be reviewed for parity with the American high school system before an admissions decision will can be completed. These verifications are generally performed by Foreign Credentials Service of America
• International students will pay their tuition and purchase their books at the same time. MACU generally is able to obtain digital text books both for sale or rent for the students to use. You will use the macuniversity.edu website to make this payment. The exact webpage for your intended course will be emailed to the applicant.
• Admission decisions will be based on the applicants’ application, references and demonstrated ability to learn and work in English. Unlike other programs, dual enrolled high school students are not required to have a TOEFL score to enroll at MACU. This difference places a great amount of weight on the applicant’s essay and other application process sections.
• MACU is a SACSCOC accredited school, and as such our 100 and 200 level courses should transfer without issue to another regionally accredited University in the US.
