Taking a Dual Credit Course After Withdrawing or Failing a Previous Dual Credit Class

Question

How do I continue taking dual credit after receiving a WD or F in my dual credit class?

Answer

1. Go to the Eligibility Exception Form
2. Under the Student Section, type your full name & email address
3. Under the Parent/Guardian Section, type your parent or guardian’s name & email address
   Note: make sure the emails are typed correctly, otherwise your parent or guardian will not receive the email
4. Under the School Official Section, type your high school counselor’s name and counselor's email address
5. Click Begin Signing
6. Explain the circumstances leading up to the withdrawal (WD) or F and add appropriate supporting documentation under the Showing Good Cause heading
7. Sign the form at the bottom of the page when prompted by the yellow sign icon
8. Click submit at the bottom of the page
9. The form will be sent to your parent or guardian’s email address where they will need to sign the form
10. The form will then be sent to your high school official’s email address where they will need to sign the form
    Note: If your parent or counselor can’t find the form in their email, they should check their junk or spam folder. If they cannot find the email, contact dualcredit@usd.edu with the emails used (incorrect spelling causes the form to be voided).
11. After all parties have signed the form, USD will process your Eligibility Exception request
12. If this petition is approved, you will be allowed to continue taking dual credit at the discounted rate ($48.33 per credit hour)
13. If the petition is denied, you will not be allowed to continue taking dual credit at the discounted rate
    • If you still wish to take dual credit, you can pay full dual credit tuition ($145.00 per credit hour) to retake the withdrawal (WD) or failed (F) course
    • Once the course is successfully retaken at the full dual credit tuition rate, you will be allowed to continue taking dual credit at the discounted rate
