How to Enroll

First-time dual credit students, or those who have not taken courses from the University of Idaho within the past two years, are required to complete an Online Admissions application.  Once this is submitted, they may proceed with the steps outlined below.

Continuing dual credit students, or those who have taken courses from the University of Idaho within the past two years, are already active students in our system and do not need to go through this process.  They may proceed with the steps outlined below.

  1. Download the Registration Form.
  2. Select a Course.
    High school counselors will help students choose from a list of courses that can fulfill high school graduation requirements and lay the foundation for an academic future. For courses that require placement scores (like English, math, or chemistry) ACT, SAT, or COMPASS scores help determine which course students are qualified to take. If students have taken the ACT or SAT and find their scores unsatisfactory, placement may be challenged by taking the COMPASS English or math test and scoring higher. If students have not taken the ACT or SAT, COMPASS English and math tests are administered by the University of Idaho Counseling and Testing Center Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on a walk-in basis. Each test costs $15 (payable by personal check or money order) and takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Contact the Counseling and Testing Center by calling (208) 885-6716 or visiting their office in Mary E. Forney Hall, Room 306. Photo ID is required.Please Note:If students wish to take a University of Idaho math course offered through their high school, they are exempted from taking the math placement test. The University of Idaho Class Schedule is available at www.uidaho.edu/schedule.
  3. Complete the registration form and get all the necessary signatures.  Please note that state statute requires both the parent and the student signature, regardless of the student’s age. 
    Student, counselor or principal, and parent or guardian signatures are all required.  Home-schooled students enroll in much the same manner, except the parent/guardian will sign both the Parent/Guardian signature line and the High School Counselor signature line.
