- MSC institutions interested in establishing a connection with EMU’s dual enrollment program should contact the designated administrative assistant to the dean at EMU. Currently, the designated administrative assistant is Barbara Byer at 540-432-4168, barbara.byer@emu.edu.Registrar's Office.
- An MSC institution planning to offer an already approved dual enrollment course should notify EMU’s designated administrative assistant of which course(s) will be offered no later than January 30 of the preceding academic year. Notifications should include course terms (e.g. fall or spring) and begin/end dates.
- An MSC institution wishing to offer a new dual enrollment course should submit completed proposals to EMU’s designated administrative assistant no later than January 30 of the preceding academic year. EMU will respond within 30 days of receiving the proposal. Proposals shall include:
- dual enrollment proposal form which identifies the related EMU course
- course syllabus (following EMU’s guidelines—template available)
- high school course description
- instructor’s curriculum vitae
- instructor’s transcripts
- letter of endorsement from the high school principal
- the Life Together statement
- Instructors teaching dual enrollment courses at the high school must have earned a master’s degree in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 semester hours in the teaching discipline) or demonstrate exceptional experience within the content area. Instructors are employed by MSC institutions, with adjunct faculty privileges at EMU.
- Upon review by the dean of the school in which the proposed subject is housed, materials will be forwarded to the appropriate university program cluster for evaluation. The reviewer(s) may request additional information and an interview with the instructor. Evidence of compatible course objectives, academic rigor (including appropriate seat time and assignment requirements), and appropriate assessment shall be considered. The program cluster submits a recommendation to the aforementioned dean.
- EMU makes the final decision regarding approval and communicates this to the MSC institution.
- All instructors teaching EMU courses are required to successfully complete a background investigation as required by Human Resources and to arrange for official transcripts to be sent to the designated administrative assistant.
