Thank you for your interest in the UM Dual Enrollment Early College Program. As an Early College student you will be taking classes at one of our campuses or online. You will be admitted to Missoula College but will still be a University of Montana student. According to the Montana Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE), in order to be eligible for dual enrollment, a student must be between the ages of 16–19 and/or junior/senior high school standing. Our Dual Enrollment program does allow students to apply for an exception. The purpose of this application is to clarify the responsibilities of students choosing to enroll in the DE program. Admitted students under the age of 16 have the same rights and responsibilities as any other college student. Our program requires that every underage student and their parent or legal guardian review the details of this agreement. By signing, all parties acknowledge and accept the expectations of the DE Early College Program. Early College students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for higher education and understand they are choosing to learn in an adult-oriented educational environment.
Before beginning this application please be sure you have the following material:
- Student and parent/guardian email addresses.
- High School or Homeschool Transcript.
- Letter of recommendation from an impartial third party OR your calendar ready so that you can set up an advising appointment.
For any questions please email our office at DualEnrollment@umontana.edu
If you have not already scheduled an appointment you may do so here: https://calendly.com/umpatterson/advising-appointment
Please know that I cannot guarantee placement in the courses you requested during our appointment or when you fill out your application it all depends on what is open at the time you are able to register. This is why it is important to apply and get registered early if you can.
