Dual Credit

Purdue University Northwest:

• PNW Concurrent Enrollment: This program allows high-achieving high school students the opportunity to earn college credits from Purdue Northwest while still in high school. These students enter college with the credit hours that they earned in high school and have a head start on their college education, helping them to save both time and money
  • Students will apply and register with the school counselors in the Spring prior to starting their Fall course(s)
  • Payment is taken care of between families and PNW, not NPHS
  • Additional Information on applying, setting up a PNW Account, registration, payment, and important dates can be found here:

Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis:

• IUPUI has partnered with Project Lead the Way (PLTW) to provide high schools, teachers and students with innovative, hands-on science programs. PLTW classes are taught in school during the school day, and every instructor of PLTW courses receives extensive training as well as ongoing support in the courses they teach. While the STEM subject matter is rigorous, the approach is never rigid
• Course Completion Certificate
  • Qualified PLTW Biomedical students will receive a letter certifying that they have completed the coursework. They will receive special college credit at IUPUI.
  • Fee: Currently, there is no fee for the credits associated with these courses for students who choose to enroll at IUPUI
  • Requirements:
    • Student must have taken the PLTW Biomedical Science course (s) at a certified PLTW school and passed the End of Course (EOC) National Assessment Part A with a stanine score of 6 or higher.
    • Complete and submit application form:
    • Student must download and complete required portions of IUPUI application then submit to PLTW instructor
    • PLTW instructor/High School must complete and submit the form
    • Form may be submitted after completion of each course, or preferably during the senior year for all past courses on the same form.
    • Stanines of 6 or 7 are approximately equivalent to a B grade, and will be awarded an S at IUPUI for satisfactory completion; Stanines of 8 or 9 will be awarded an A at IUPUI.
  • Letters certifying course completion will be sent upon graduation. While information may be submitted to IUPUI each year, only one letter, certifying all courses completed, will be mailed upon graduation
  • A sealed letter will also be included so that a student who attends a university/college outside of IUPUI or an IU affiliated school may present the letter to the Department of Biology Chair of the university/college of their choice for obtaining college credit. It will be up to that university/college or school to decide on whether or not to issue the college credit at that institution
  • Qualified PLTW Biomedical students who matriculate to IUPUI will need to contact the IUPUI SPAN Division Office after the SECOND WEEK of classes during their FIRST semester at IUPUI to request the college credit be recorded on their transcript. Special credit will be posted on the student's IU transcript at no further cost to the student
