Dual Credit provides high school students the ability to begin their college career working within their local high school and with accredited high school staff.  Students are invited to begin coursework with the same rigor and relevance as their college counterparts, but at a reduced cost, giving them an advantage in their higher educational pursuits. Dual Credit also accelerates the time needed to complete a degree. Students in the RCSJ's Dual Credit program are better apt to understand the demands of time management and critical thinking skills, creating a more positive learning experience with less stress as they choose to complete either an Associate’s degree at Rowan College or transfer to another college or university. Students may apply their credit to RCSJ degree programs or request the credit be to other institutions of higher education. Rowan College can not guarantee the transfer of college credit earned through Dual Credit.​

Students will receive an information packet from the high school while enrolled in the articulated course. Students must submit proper paperwork and payment by the established deadlines.

Dual Credit will not be awarded retroactively; rather, only articulated courses successfully completed during the timeframe in which a Dual Credit agreement has been established. Deadlines for admissions & payment must be met to be considered for Dual Credit during the agreement timeframe
