About Concurrent Enrollment (Q&A)

What is Concurrent Enrollment?

Concurrent enrollment, also called Dual Enrollment, is an opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to earn college credit for courses taught at Del Val by Del Val teachers in conjunction with our partner colleges.

What are the benefits?

Concurrent enrollment can offer students a chance to begin earning college credits at a reduced rate.

The rate for Seton Hall University Project Acceleration is $110/credit.

What schools does DV offer this through?

Del Val is currently working with Seton Hall University.

Does earning credit mean I MUST attend that school after I graduate?

No, the credits are earned through the specific college, but you have the ability to request that your school of choice accept your transfer credits.

How do I know if my credits will transfer to my college?

Please call/contact your college of choice and ask them directly what they will accept; this is really the best way to confirm.

You can also visit NJ Transfer to begin exploring transfer equivalencies within New Jersey.

Please note that NJ Transfer alone cannot be used to determine course equivalencies for courses taken at NJ community colleges while the student is in high school or for courses taken at the high school and recorded on a college transcript.

You can also visit Transferology to view a limited transfer list based on other students' past experiences. 

Are there restrictions from colleges as to what they will accept?

Yes. For example, here is the policy from Rutgers:

Dual-enrollment courses reported on a college transcript will be considered for Rutgers credit, subject to the following requirements:

  • No more than four dual-enrollment courses (not to exceed 15 credits) may transfer into the Rutgers Business School.

  • No more than two dual-enrollment courses per semester are transferable.

  • Minimum grade that must be earned is a B.

  • If the student was concurrently enrolled in the parallel Advanced Placement (AP) course for that academic discipline, and scored below a 4 on the AP examination, no academic credit will be considered for the dual-enrollment course.

My current college never received my concurrent enrollment course(s) transcript. Why?

Students must request each of the transcripts directly from the colleges. Fees may apply.  

How are my grades for the colleges calculated?

The grade earned at Del Val is the same as that reported as long as both are inclusive of the required final exam.

Can I be exempt from my final exams or other work in a concurrent enrollment course?

If you are taking the course for college credit, the exams and the tasks are a part of the certified course syllabus and therefore students must take/complete them.

What is Del Val's CEEB Code?

310410.

What is the benefit of taking the AP test?

If you score high enough, your college may offer double credits (for example, Rider University offers 6 credits if you score 5/5 on the AP English exam). Check out your course(s) and college(s) here: AP Credit Policy Search 

The cost to take the AP test is cheaper than paying for concurrent enrollment credit.

Which class(es) should I take for concurrent enrollment credit?

You should meet with your counselor to discuss the courses that will serve you best; they will be dependent upon your intended major, course requirements, and personal history with the content.

I missed the deadline. Can I still submit my course registration?

Unfortunately, the deadlines are set by the colleges and Del Val is not able to make exceptions.

I have more questions. Who can I contact?
