Dual Credit student responsibilities
Learn about the program
As a Dual Credit student, you are held to the same academic and behavioral standards as 51°µÍø students taking classes on campus or online. To help with your transition to college courses, we have created a digital for you to review. Read the student handbook and visit the Dual Credit website regularly to understand how the program works, important deadlines, student expectations and more.
Be ready for college-level work
Think about whether you are ready for college-level coursework and responsibilities before registering for the college course. It’s important to keep in mind that Dual Credit courses will be on your official 51°µÍø college transcript. And that the HS grade may be different from the college grade.
For more information, refer to the  in the Dual Credit Student Handbook.
Apply and save your 51°µÍø information
Complete the and save your My51°µÍø username, Gnumber and account password. You will need this information to access your 51°µÍø account and services.
Meet important deadlines
Know your registration, drop, and withdrawal deadlines for your 51°µÍø Dual Credit classes. Missing a deadline can have permanent academic and financial consequences. 51°µÍø cannot register, drop, or withdraw students after a deadline has passed.
Review the 51°µÍø Dual Credit Academic Calendar for key dates and deadlines.
Check your course registration
After being admitted to 51°µÍø as a Dual Credit student, it is important that you login to My51°µÍø and go to My Courses → Class Schedule to make sure you are registered for your 51°µÍø class. Under no circumstances are students added retroactively to courses.
Drop or withdraw if needed
If you leave the high school course or change schools, you are responsible for dropping or withdrawing from the 51°µÍø class before the deadline.
Review the 51°µÍø Dual Credit Academic Calendar for the drop/withdraw dates.
Review your 51°µÍø transcript
Request an official 51°µÍø transcript when applying to colleges or universities so your Dual Credit coursework can be reviewed for transfer credit. Keep in mind that transferability and applicability of Dual Credit courses depends on the receiving institution.
To learn more, refer to  in the Dual Credit Student Handbook.
Keep your contact information updated
If your address or contact information changes, update it in My51°µÍø → My personal profile or call 971-722-8888 (option 2).
51°µÍø Policies
Registration policies
When you start the online registration process, check all your information in My51°µÍø. Verify that the information you are about to enter is the same as what was provided by your high school instructor. You are the one responsible for the accuracy of registering for your classes and tuition and fees if you register for the wrong course.
Grading policies
All courses at 51°µÍø have a default grade option, which has been determined by the Subject Area Committee. In most cases, this is a Letter Grade Option (standard A-F system).
Attendance
You are expected to attend all the classes you’re enrolled in. If you don’t attend (or stop attending) a class and fail to drop the course on time (see the dual credit academic calendar), you will be responsible for the grade reported on your 51°µÍø transcript. If you have excessive absences and fail to drop or withdraw from a class by the deadline, a grade of F may be assigned by your instructor.
