Dual Credit (DC)

The Dual Credit (DC) at the University of Wisconsin-Stout provides academically able students (GPA of 2.5 or higher, ACT 22 or higher, or teacher recommendation) the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Students who enroll as a UW-Stout special student and successfully complete Middleton High School courses offered through the school's dual credit agreement may earn UW-Stout credit.   Final eligibility approval is determined by the department chair at UW-Stout, not the high school teacher, and therefore is not guaranteed. Any student can still take the course for MHS credit.

These credits are transferable to all UW system schools and 2 year colleges as well as approximately 200 additional colleges and universities across the country. Information regarding transferring Dual Credit credits can be found at https://www.transferology.com  

Note: Dual Credit offerings are dependent on teacher certification. 

While there have been several changes to the funding of this dual credit program over the past several years, DC courses are currently tuition-based, and families are responsible for this tuition. Last year, tuition was $105 per college credit (3 credits per course). This remains a substantial tuition reduction from on campus tuition. Dual Credit tuition is set by the UW-system and is subject to change. Students who qualify for Federal Free/Reduced lunch are eligible for a fee reduction to approximately $55 per credit. 

Dual Credit opportunities at MHS include:

FAMILY CONSUMER SCIENCE

• Apparel & Textiles II

• Hospitality & Tourism

* NOTE: DC course status is subject to change based on staffing.

Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) 

The Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh provides academically able high school juniors and seniors with a GPA of 3.25 or higher the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Students who register and successfully complete courses offered through CAPP earn University of Oshkosh credit, verified by an official transcript. These credits are transferable to all UW system schools and 2 year colleges as well as approximately 200 additional colleges and universities across the country. Information regarding transferring CAPP credits can be found at www.uwosh.edu/capp

Note: CAPP offerings are dependent on teacher certification. 

While there have been several changes to the funding of this dual credit program over the past several years, CAPP courses are currently tuition-based, and families are responsible for this tuition. Last year, tuition was $105 per college credit and courses range from 1 to 5 credits. This remains a substantial tuition reduction from on campus tuition. CAPP tuition is set by the UW-system and is subject to change. Students who qualify for Federal Free/Reduced lunch are eligible for a fee waiver. Sophomores who wish to take a course for CAPP credit will require a waiver presented on their behalf by their CAPP teacher per UWO policy. Final waiver approval is determined by the department chair at UWO, not the high school teacher, and therefore is not guaranteed. Any student can still take the course for MHS credit.
