Dual Enrollment

Class Selection

Registration for Fall Dual Enrollment Courses Opens August 8, 2022 - August 19, 2022. Even though your high school semester may have started, your USF course does not start until August 22, 2022.  Please prepare for the course through My USF Oasis - tutorials and Canvas.

Students may register for their USF online or USF Campus courses starting on the date above in My Oasis.  Dual Enrollment courses taught on a high school campus are courtesy registered for the student and no action is required.  

                                                  Course Selection and Registration Guide

These are key procedures for USF courses that are available for dual enrollment:

• A student’s school counselor must submit approval form 2 so the class being taken is able to be applied to the high school transcript
• Students must earn 6 credit (2 courses) with a C or better through USF dual enrollment before being able to take up to 11 credits on subsequent semesters. Once 6 credits have been earned successfully, students may take up to 3 courses in subsequent semesters not to exceed 11 credit hours.
• Students must self-register all USF Online Courses or on USF Campus courses, but not their courses taken on their high school campus. USF only courtesy registers high school campus courses.
• All High School Campus Courses are courtesy registered.   
• For Public High School Campuses: USF only allows students to register and take four (4) courses on a participating high school campus. Once the student reaches four (4) courses at their participating high school they can continue dual enrollment online or at a USF Campus. Students are allowed to take any modality combination such as, a high school campus course, USF online course, or a USF Campus course while dual enrolled. They do not have to wait until the four (4) courses on their high school campus are completed, they may add modalities as needed for their high school graduation requirements.
• A seat must be available in the class (every USF class has an enrollment cap).
• The following courses are not eligible for dual enrollment:
  • Courses of less than 3 credits (with the exception of labs)
  • Performing arts studios and physical education/sports classes
  • ENC 1101 or ENC 1102 unless offered on a high school campus
  • Students must have all prerequisites needed for the given class.
    • Transcripts, test scores, etc. can be used to show qualifications: Submit to  dualenrollment@usf.edu

The following are tools to use for helping select classes:

• Schedule Search – See when/where/modality that a given class is being offered across all USF campuses.

  • There must be a CRN# for USF online and USF Campus courses. For semester course planning, the course selections are verified for availability that semester by the school counselor/administrator with the student using the Staff Schedule Search. Simply type in the Term and under course details the Three letter Subject Code  (Prefix Found on the Equivalent List, or catalog / inventory).  Check Instructional methods either CL-Classroom/Campus or AD- All Online and hit search at the bottom.
• Course inventory – See course descriptions, prerequisites, and credit hours
• Catalog – See what classes make up a given major. Often, electives are great options for dual enrollment courses and fulfill elective courses at the HS level
• Credit-By-Exam – See if a student’s AP, IB, etc. scores satisfy a prerequisite
• Dual Enrollment - High School Equivalency List (FLDOE)
• USF General Education Core - List of courses to satisfy USF General Education (GE)

For a tutorial on self-registration see video here: How to register and search your schedule on Oasis. Oasis is located on the upper right side of the USF homepage under MyUSF. 

1.)  Students who have approved courses for taking any USF online or USF Campus courses will register themselves when the Non-degree seeking registration window opens. Fall Registration: Late July or Early August. Spring Registration: Late November or Early December. (Check important dates to know when to register-courses fill fast).

NOTE: If a student is taking a combination of USF Online / USF Campus courses they will have to register for those USF online or campus courses themselves but, not the high school on campus course, see below.

2.)  Students taking USF courses on their high school Campus do not have to register their high school campus course. USF administrative staff will courtesy register students who are taking courses on their high school campus based on Approval Form 2. 

NOTE: If a student is taking a combination of USF Online / USF Campus courses they will have to register for those USF online or campus courses themselves but, not the high school on campus course.

Final Steps:

The school Counselor/Homeschool Parent Administrator will be notified after registration has been completed through the email they provided in Approval Form 2.

Students must log into Canvas the day before or on the first class meeting to ensure the course is available in Canvas.  If not available, the student must be added. Coordinators/Counselors/ Homeschool administrators will notify the EUP office of any errors or changes during drop/ add week (First Week of the Course). After Drop/Add week, students cannot be added or dropped from registered classes.
