Dual Enrollment
As a high school student, AUM’s dual enrollment program lets you take college courses while you’re still in high school and earn college credit that counts toward both your high school diploma and your future degree. For students who want a head start on higher education, and for parents and high school counselors helping them compare options, it’s a practical way to complete college-level courses early, build confidence with college-level coursework, and move your college career forward faster.
Dual Enrollment at Auburn University at Montgomery gives high school students a chance to save money and gain a real advantage as they begin their college career, with tuition at almost 85% off standard costs. This guide explains how dual enrollment works, who is eligible, how it compares with AP, what it costs, how to apply, which college courses are available, what happens next, and the rules students need to follow.

What happens next?
Complete your high school’s transcript release form to have your transcript and test scores submitted to the Admissions Office. Once we have received all documents and determined the admission decision, we will notify you via mail regarding your admission decision and pertinent information. The Office of Admissions will assist with course registration, and students may take college classes online, at their high school, or on a college campus, depending on what is offered. In dual enrollment programs, courses are taught by college instructors rather than high school teachers, and often by college professors. You will need to pay for your AUM course(s) by the published payment deadlines. You can purchase books at the AUM Bookstore on campus.
What else do I need to know?
The courses offered through Dual Enrollment are subject to the same rules and regulations as all other AUM courses, as outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog. Dual Enrollment students are subject to the same standards of conduct and academic achievement as other AUM students, as outlined in the Student Handbook. The dual enrollment experience requires independence, time management, and responsibility because students are completing college-level classes while in high school, and some students may struggle with those expectations. Students’ grades will be assigned by instructors and posted to an AUM transcript.
For more information, please contact the Admissions Office or your high school counselor.
