Student Account Access
Accessing the account is a very basic college skill that these students will need for future success.
It is reasonable to expect dual credit students to follow these instructions on their own (including how to contact Honors Academy for assistance); please don't use class time for account activation unless you want to.
CSIT team has agreed to re-send account activation links to all of these WHA students by Tuesday morning (April 22).
Follow the instructions in the email from Wesleyan to use the Student Orientation Course to activate accounts, verify account access, or complete the Troubleshooting Form.
The Student Orientation Course contains a module with instructions on Account Activation and Access, including ways for instructors to verify that students have access. There is also a Troubleshooting Form in the module to complete if necessary. Students can access the Student Orientation Course without signing in. DO NOT HAVE STUDENTS EMAIL US DIRECTLY.
**Have students verify to you that they can access their accounts before you ask them to complete course evaluations. You can verify if they have access by asking them to 1) send you an email from their NWU email address or 2) share a screenshot of their Okta homepage (example below). Please insist that students take responsibility; this will save A LOT of time/stress for all of us!
Course Evaluations
To avoid the most stress: Follow the instructions above regarding account activation.
Students: go to Course Evaluations module in the Student Orientation Course to complete the evaluation -- this takes time! (about 20 minutes).

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for dual enrollment
Will I be able to transfer course credits to any other schools? USD, too? Yes. The South Dakota Board of Regents works with Neb Wesleyan University and accepts this class as transfer credits. Most other institutions also work with Wesleyan and accept the credits. Some colleges may transfer the credit as elective credits, so be sure to check. Helpful links!--> for colleges in Nebraska, use https://transfer.nebraska.edu Nationally: http://eceapps.uconn.edu/credit_transfer_database
Do I have to go to Nebraska Wesleyan University in order to get this college credit? No. Wesleyan University does offer scholarships for students in the dual enrollment program (called the "Wesleyan Honors Academy"), but you do NOT have to attend the college in order to earn credits. Go where your heart (and head) take you. Of course, consider all options and consult your parents, counselor, or me if you have questions.
Do I have to take the AP exam too? No. Lucky for you, it's an option. The requirements for AP and for the dual enrollment are the same, so the choice is yours. With dual enrollment, the credits are guaranteed (if you do the work, of course). With the AP exam -- and any standardized test -- there are no guarantees. I will do my best to prepare you with the essential information and the resources available (come in during WIN time for more tips if you take the exam!), but this is something to which you will need to dedicate some time outside of class if you want to do well (i.e. practicing multiple choice questions, responding to essay prompts, etc).
Why would anyone want to take the AP exam and take the class for dual enrollment?! Taking the AP exam on top of already taking the class as dual enrollment would mainly be for placement purposes; this means that if you do well, you may be placed in a different, say, smaller class, your freshman year of college. One SSC graduate took AP Lit for dual enrollment, scored a 5 on the AP exam, and then attended UNL; she was placed in a smaller class during her freshman year. This is not always the case for all colleges, so be sure to check with the institution. Another reason someone might choose to take the exam is to see how his or her essay writing compares with other students nationally and globally. Also, some schools may take the AP exam score as dual enrollment, depending on the score you earn (again, visit your college's website or contact them for more information; scroll to the bottom for some requirements from area colleges...see me if you have questions about this form).
If I take the AP exam but don't do as well as I had hoped, do I have to report my score? No. You do not have to include your score. Only you -- and I -- will know. If, however, you do well, you may decide to include the score on your transcript.
Is AP Lang the same class as English 3? Sort of. The priority standards are the same, there are some vocabulary common assessments, and some essays are the same (argumentative essay and the narrative essay), but the reading requirements, essay requirements (in-class, timed essays, rhetorical analysis, synthesis essay, for example), and general rigor will differ. As is the case with any college class, the students are -- and should be -- held to a more rigorous curriculum, engage in academic discussions, and have more general expectations.
If I register for college credits, do I have to do more work than the other students in AP Lang/AP Lit? If you are registered for this class, you will do the same amount of work than anyone else in the classroom. Taking the class for dual enrollment does not mean more or less work. Taking the AP exam also does not mean more or less work. The choice is yours regarding how much -- or little -- effort you put in.
Is AP Lit the same as AP Lang? No. Most colleges (Universities, especially) require a freshman writing class as well as a freshman reading class. Generally speaking, AP Lang is the writing course, and AP Lit is the reading course. *Please note: this does not mean you won't have reading expectations in AP Lang (nonfiction readings are required) ... and this does not mean you won't have writing expectations in AP Lit (the literary analysis essay is required). See below or HERE for more information with the distinction between these two classes.

Drops and Withdrawals for dual enrollment
Drops and Withdrawals for dual enrollment
Because you are concurrently enrolled at your high school and at Nebraska Wesleyan, you must contact both institutions if you choose to drop a course. Drop deadlines for all courses are the same as the registration deadlines, (usually the beginning of October and the beginning of February; see Mrs. Simons or your brochure for the exact dates). Dropped courses do not appear on your transcript and tuition is refunded. After the drop deadlines, you may still withdraw from courses, but a “W” will appear on your transcript and you are still obligated for the tuition payment. To drop or withdraw from a course, complete the drop/add/withdraw petition at honorsacademy.nebrwesleyan.edu.
Benefits TO TAKING dual enrollment COURSES
Benefits TO TAKING dual enrollment COURSES
There are many good reasons for enrolling:
Your course credit will transfer to colleges and universities.
You will receive a NWU student ID card so you can access all NWU facilities and activities available to traditional undergraduates, such as the library, student union, fine arts productions, and athletic events.
Your course grade will be based on your cumulative classroom effort demonstrated for all assignments throughout the course—without the pressure of having to take the one-time AP exam to demonstrate success.
You only will pay for half of the AP exam if you choose to take it. (Note: Taking the AP exam may be advantageous for students applying on a national level to a variety of colleges and universities.)
Should you choose to attend NWU, your credit earned through the NWU Honors Academy will fulfill your equivalent NWU course requirement, as well as apply toward your total number of NWU credits required for graduation, including major, minor or general education requirements.
You will receive a significant cost saving per credit hour compared with NWU tuition rates.
Earning credits toward college graduation may reduce the heavy course loads that most first-year students face—giving you more time to get used to college life and participate in extracurricular activities.
You will be eligible for a $1,000 scholarship for each WHA course (up to three courses) taken in high school when you enroll as a student at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Here is more information about WHA scholarships.
