About the Programs

Early Enrollment and Dual Credit programs allow high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit at a fraction of the traditional tuition cost. Both of these programs fall under our office of Concurrent Programs.

Early Enrollment allows students to take classes with college professors on campus at Hannibal-LaGrange University or through several other innovative techniques.

Dual Credit is offered through the high school instructors and works to satisfy the state requirements for secondary education while incorporating college level material.

When do I pay? What if I need to drop a class?

Students are billed immediately and must make payment arrangements before the start of class. If a student needs to add or drop a class it must be done before the drop/add date established in the HLGU college catalog and the written consent of your high school guidance counselor.

High school students are required to abide by the published course calendar, which is coordinated with the high school block schedule. Hannibal-LaGrange University does not differentiate between high school students and other students; all students need to make the necessary commitment required of their course.

Will my credits transfer?

Yes. All courses offered through HLGU are fully accredited. However, students should check with their particular school to be sure credits transfer appropriately.
