Earn College Credit in High School

Get a Head Start on College—Right Here at PHS!

Palmyra High School is excited to offer students the opportunity to earn high school and college credit at the same time through our Dual Credit Program.

Through partnerships with Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) and Stockton University, eligible PHS students can take select courses taught by PHS faculty who are certified college adjunct instructors. Successful completion of these courses may allow students to earn college credit while still in high school.

Important Tuition Information

Thanks to the generous support of the Palmyra High School Foundation for Educational Excellence (PHSFEE):

RCBC Dual Credit Tuition is FREE!

For the 2026–2027 school year, RCBC dual credit tuition is fully covered for all eligible and enrolled PHS students.

Please note: Stockton University tuition is not covered by PHSFEE and will be the responsibility of the student’s parent or guardian.

What Is Dual Credit?

Dual credit courses allow students to earn both high school and college credit for the same course.

Courses are taught by PHS teachers who are certified to teach through our college partners. Eligible courses may provide students with an opportunity to earn college credit before graduating from high school.

How to Enroll & Earn College Credit

1. Explore eligible courses.
   Visit the Dual Credit Course tab on the school website to view eligible courses and plan ahead. Some courses you take in future years may also qualify.
   
   

2. Register with the college.
   Students must complete registration through the designated college portal for RCBC or Stockton University.
   
   

3. Watch your email.
   Students enrolled in eligible courses will receive email reminders with registration information and deadlines.
   
   

4. Meet the registration deadline.
   Registration must be completed by the established hard deadline.
   
   

5. Earn the required grade.
   Students must earn a C or higher (70%) in the course to receive college credit.
   
   

Important Reminder

Free tuition does not mean automatic college credit.

Even when RCBC tuition is fully covered, students must complete the college registration process to receive college credit.

No registration = No college credit

Will My College Accept the Credit?

College credit does not automatically transfer to every college or university.

If you plan to attend a four-year college or university, whether in New Jersey or out of state, we encourage you to check with that institution directly to determine whether it accepts the dual credit and how the credit may apply toward your intended degree.

Transfer policies vary by college, university, and academic program.
