Thank you for joining us for our Dual Enrollment Information Nights! The presentations for each of our counties are available below.
Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment allows you to take classes at CSM for college credit, while satisfying your high school graduation requirements.
Dual Enrollment students receive a 50% discount off the tuition and will pay 100% of the combined fees when they register for a college class on campus or within their high school. Students who participate have full access to all college services including clubs, free tutoring, learning support workshops, library resources, and workout rooms. Home school students may participate as well. They will receive 50% discount on tuition if they report to the Board of Education or an MSDE approved umbrella organization. Out-of-county students will be granted a 25 percent tuition waiver while in the program.
Steps to Enroll If you're taking classes on a CSM campus
1. Apply
Be sure to indicate on your application that you are interested in participating in the Dual Enrollment program. We encourage you to apply several weeks prior to the enrollment deadline so you have plenty of time to complete all steps.
2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Form
Speak with your high school counselor about taking dual classes on the CSM campus to ensure that you are eligible to participate in the program and to review graduation requirements. Home school students will also use this Dual Enrollment Form. Complete the appropriate form:

3. Demonstrate College Level Placement
| Option #1: High School Transcript | Option #2: SAT/ACT Scores |
|
Attach a PDF copy of your high school transcript while completing the online Dual Enrollment Form, or send a PDF copy via email to your CSM Enrollment Coordinator (see below). Students can access this record in their high school account. If using option #1, you must have a cumulative unweighted 2.75 high school GPA or higher.
*Out-of-County Students: Students in Prince George’s County should contact aod@csmd.edu, and students in Anne Arundel County should contact Lee Desmarais. Home-schooled and private school students should contact the CSM Enrollment Coordinator in their county to discuss placement options and requirements. |
If you have taken either exam, attach a PDF of your official score report while completing the online Dual Enrollment Form, or email a PDF score report of your SAT or ACT scores to your CSM Enrollment Coordinator. Students can access these reports in their College Board or ACT accounts. If using option #2, you must have a cumulative 2.5 high school GPA or higher.
Please note that if you wish to take a higher level Math course than your SAT/ACT scores demonstrate, you should take the Aleks math placement test. |
4. Meet with an Enrollment Coordinator
After your application, dual enrollment form, and transcript have been received and processed, you will be contacted by your counties Enrollment Coordinator to schedule an appointment. During this appointment you’ll be able to discuss your educational goals, register for classes, and make payment arrangements.
Dual Enrollment students cannot register on their own and must work with an Enrollment Coordinator.

Steps to Enroll If you're taking classes at your high school
Dual classes are offered in the high schools through an exciting partnership with the school or school district. The student will not need to come to the college campus for these classes. All instruction will take place in their high school classroom. Examples of these dual courses are Honors Composition and Rhetoric, Pre-Calculus, and Algebra III. This opportunity is not the same as the College Board's AP program.
1. Apply
Be sure to indicate on your application that you are interested in participating in the Dual Enrollment program. We encourage you to apply several weeks prior to the enrollment deadline so you have plenty of time to complete all steps. Deadlines for these class registrations are typically at the end of January.
2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Form
- Complete the electronic Dual Enrollment form provided to you, which requires the student's signature and the parent's signature, and e-mail it to aod@csmd.edu. Forms are available from the high school teacher of the subject in which the student will be earning college credits.
- Once this form is received, CSM will send it to the high school teacher for signature. CSM will then register the student for the college credits once the form is received from the teacher.
- The student will receive a registration confirmation via the e-mail address provided on the student's CSM application with instructions on how to pay and request a transcript. The student needs to have applied and provided their social security number on their application in order for their registration to be processed.
Please make sure that the student is monitoring the e-mail address they included on their application. Also, please be sure to use a personal e-mail address and not a school e-mail address when applying and e-mailing forms.
