Dual Academic Credit Program (DACP) classes are specifically identified college-level courses which are taught at the high school by credentialed high school teachers using college curriculum with oversight from college faculty and staff. Students earn college credit by applying for the course(s), passing the course(s), and paying reduced tuition for the credits. Grades are recorded on a permanent college transcript. Students remain at their high school while completing college coursework and fulfilling high school graduation requirements at the same time.
DACP students are assured of earning college credit as long as they are successful in meeting the course requirements and paying the tuition fee of $110/credit.
Students choosing this option must apply to UWRF as a DACP student and make payment by the deadline; no applications are accepted after the registration deadline.
