Applying For Dual Credit Programs

Your school will receive instructions from the Institute for Academic Outreach regarding how to apply for your specific dual credit program, and you will be directed to an online application.  A parent/guardian will then be asked to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, acknowledging that you all understand the dual credit policies as they apply to your school.

Dual Credit Application Process

Returning students (who have taken dual credit from Truman before):

Use the same email address and password you did when you applied previously.

• If you don’t remember what your password is you can still get in! On the page that loads after you click the link on the next step, click the “Email Your Password” link at the bottom of the page to have your password sent to the email address you used when you last applied.
• If you don’t remember your password and you no longer have access to the email address you used when you applied last time, you can follow the instructions for new dual credit students below to create a new account.

New students:

1. After you click the application link below, click on “Create a New Account”
2. Fill out every field and read the notes below:
   • The password you create on this screen is only for logging into the application, it is not the password for TruView (your student account at Truman).  Instructions to set up that account will be provided by your teacher and through an email at a later date.
   • If you take another class from Truman , you will need to fill out this application again using the same email address and password to log in.
3. Click the “Create Account” button.
4. Log into the application on the next page with the email address and password that you chose when you created your account.

About The Application:

On the “Personal Information” page of the application:

• Put your full legal name on your application (not your nickname) and check to make sure you typed it in correctly.
• Please DO include your Social Security Number – all 9 digits without dashes (e.g.: 123456789 NOT 123-45-6789)

Why do I have to supply my social security number?  Isn’t that unsafe?

• Truman State University requires it for tax reporting purposes.  Your parents will actually get a statement allowing them to claim this tuition on their income taxes.
• It will save you from having to do several additional steps later.  Your Social Security number must be on file before transcripts will be released.
• Your social security number is managed securely through our online application process.
• If you still don’t feel quite right about including your social security number on your application, you can use the TruView portal after you’ve applied to enter your social security number through a separate, secure portal.
