Penn West Dual Enrollment Program

Pennsylvania Western University of Pennsylvania partners with North Clarion in an opportunity to offer our students the ability to take courses while in high school. Students must have at least a 3.0 GPA and have scored a proficient or advanced on the PSSA in order to be eligible for dual enrollment. The advantage to this option is that it costs $300 per course which is a tremendous savings. It also prepares students for college level work, provides them with a head start on earning their general studies credits, and could help strengthen their college applications.

North Clarion has partnered with Pitt Bradford in order to provide an invaluable opportunity to earn college credits which students would take here at our high school. Our North Clarion teachers have been approved to offer the course directly on our campus.

Transferring Pitt CHS Credit to a College or University

In order to transfer credits, students must first request an official transcript from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford:

The ultimate decision to accept dual enrollment credits is up to the institution where the student has applied. Please keep this information in mind when seeking to transfer credits:

1. The CHS course is a University of Pittsburgh credit-bearing course. Your transcript reflects the course name, grade and credits earned.

2. Course summaries can be found on the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Course Catalog: http://catalog.upb.pitt.edu/. Other institutions may/will require this.

3. A student's status while taking the CHS course is, "part-time, non-matriculated student at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford."

4. College in High School students can generally search transfer policies of over 900 US colleges and universities through the University of Connecticut's Early College Experience Credit Transfer Database. This database provides information regarding the likelihood of successful concurrent enrollment credit transfer. This likelihood is calculated based on many institutions' response to concurrent enrollment transfer credits. It is, however, just a guide, and specific contact should be made: http://web2.uconn.edu/ece/credit_transfer_database/index.php
