Frequently Asked Questions
How do the credits work? | return to top
St. Norbert College conducts a qualifying pre-test and final exam, giving you credit upon successful completion of the course. The college registrar will send a transcript to any college or university. While some schools don't accept transfer credits as a policy, many prestigious colleges and universities do accept St. Norbert College Credit courses due to the history and reputation of our program. And naturally, we guarantee that credits earned in the College Credit Program will be applied toward degree requirements on the St. Norbert College campus.
What is dual credit? | return to top
A dual credit course is a college course taken by a high school student for which the student earns both college and high school credit at the same time. College Credit dual credit courses are taught at the high school campus during high school hours. By participating in the College Credit Program, you can make substantial progress toward your college degree before finishing high school.

| Transcript Charge..........$10.00 per copy |
| Overnight Mail Service...additional $25.00 per address (usually FEDEX service unless other requested) |

| If you have any of the following requests you must state them in your letter: Hold for Grades (at the end of a term), Hold for Degree Posting, Will Call - Office Pick Up, or Overnight Service. Students requesting to receive a certified copy of their original study abroad school transcript must do so in writing. There is no charge for these transcripts when accompanied with a regular request, otherwise normal charges are applicable. All transcripts are mailed in secure envelopes indicating a transcript is enclosed, so special signature signing doesn't need to be requested. Note: Many employers and most higher education institutions will require a transcript to be sent directly to them or delivered in an unopened secure envelope. |
| End-of-Term Transcript Processing: |
| The request deadline for currently enrolled students requesting immediate processing of their transcripts is Wednesday of each Finals Week. Due to end of term grading by instructors and end of term grade posting by the Registrar's Office, all currently enrolled student requests received after the cutoff will be held for processing until grades are viewable to students via KnightLine. When submitting a request on-line you may indicate immediate processing or ask that your request be held until grades are received or your degree has been posted. |

How do I register? | return to top
Each winter, the teachers and counselors at College Credit Program participating high schools announce the follow year's program. They conduct pre-testing at the high schools in February or March for English and Mathematics courses. Each applicant must fill out a registration form, provide an updated transcript and take the appropriate pre-test. St. Norbert College selects participants based on the applicant’s overall GPA, past grades in the discipline and test scores. Once selected, the applicant works with his or her counselor to schedule the College Credit course for the following semester. Payment for the course(s) is due during the first two weeks of the high school’s fall semester.
