Applying For Dual Credit Programs

Your high school will receive instructions from the Institute for Academic Outreach at Truman State University regarding how to apply for your specific dual credit program.  In most cases, you will either be presented with a paper application or you will be directed to a customized online application.  In either case you will be asked to sign a statement acknowledging that you understand the dual credit policies as they apply to your school.  Because most dual credit students are minors, your parents will be required to sign as well.

Dual Credit Registration Packet

Each school will vary somewhat in its conditions.  If you haven’t received a registration packet from your school, contact your teacher.

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 the “Create a New Account” link on the page that loads.
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 your student account at Truman (you will receive information about setting that password later in your personalized Instruction Sheet that you will get from your high school teacher.)
• Make sure your password is something you will remember or write it down in a secure place where you will remember where to find it – if you take another class from Truman later, you will need to fill out this application again using the same email address and password to log in then to.

3. Click the “Create Account”
4. Log into the application on the next page with the email address and password that you just 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.
