Dual Credit Courses

What is Dual Credit?

WCA Juniors and Seniors can earn college credit as high school students by enrolling in dual credit classes through Oklahoma Wesleyan University (OKWU). The classes we offer satisfy general education prerequisites at most accredited universities. While it is always at a university's discretion to accept transfer credits from other universities, we have had virtually no issues transferring OKWU credits to other universities.

How Does Dual Credit Work?

Junior and Senior students are eligible to enroll in our selected courses for college credit. Enrollment is done within the first month of each semester. Enrollment requires a one-time online application process and account setup. Students must have access to their SSN when enrolling as an OKWU Dual Credit student. Our Dual Credit Manager meets with Juniors and Seniors and walks them through the account-making process. 

Upon completing the course, students will receive .5 credits (for a one-semester course) or 1 credit (for a full-year course) towards their high school diploma and 3 credits towards their college diploma. WCA maintains the high school transcript, while OKWU maintains the college transcript. Students must earn 70% or higher to receive college credit for any course.

Upon graduation from WCA, students will request their college transcript directly from OKWU and have it sent to their chosen college. WCA cannot request or receive a student’s transcript on their behalf. Please remember that courses at OKWU will have unique course titles and course numbers on the transcript. These almost always differ from the course title and course number on the WCA transcript.

Students needing a copy of their OKWU (Dual Credit) transcript must visit OKWU's transcript request page here.

What Format Are Dual Credit Courses?

Dual credit courses are taught in person by a highly qualified WCA faculty member. The faculty member holds a master’s degree in their subject area and is an adjunct faculty member at OKWU. Please note that we do not offer online dual credit courses. WCA high school students are on a block schedule. Dual credit courses meet at least two times per week. Students must understand that any Dual Credit course will require more time investment than traditional courses.

How Much Do Dual Credit Courses Cost?

Dual credit courses cost $375 and are paid directly to WCA. Students enroll online, and their WCA student accounts are billed for the course. The party responsible for paying WCA tuition can have their dual credit tuition cost(s) combined with their current WCA payment plan. Wright Christian Academy then makes a direct payment to Oklahoma Wesleyan University.

Exceptional Value

Most courses are three credits, providing exceptional value to students. WCA students have the opportunity to earn 30+ college credits before they graduate from high school. WCA families save a great deal of money on their child's college education by enrolling for dual credit now. Graduated students and their parents can attest to the benefits of our dual credit program, including the money saved, the college-level course experience gained, and the general education course credits earned.

Additional Information

Not all universities require the same general education courses, which may affect whether or not a course can be transferred from OKWU for graduation credit to the university of your choice. 

You are responsible for obtaining a degree plan from your student’s college of choice, and you must verify that they will receive the credits from OKWU for graduation credit.

Students must realize that they are building their college GPA, and their performance in the dual credit courses is very important. There are no refunds for dual credit classes, and there are dates set by OKWU for dropping a course without consequence to their college transcript. These dates will be communicated to the students upon enrollment. 

At the administration's discretion and per OKWU’s Dual Credit Program guidelines, students may be denied enrollment in a dual credit course if their current academic performance does not meet OKWU’s program prerequisites.
