General Information

A Southeastern faculty member, designated as the Instructor of Record, develops and administers all Southeastern Dual Enrollment courses. The Instructor of Record closely monitors student and teacher engagement and provides the necessary course materials as well as all assessments required for the Southeastern grade. Additionally, all grading of assessments, as laid out in the Southeastern course syllabus, is performed by the Southeastern Instructor of Record. Instruction is provided by the Southeastern Instructor of Record virtually, online and in person.

School Benefits

• High schools can offer a broader range of courses with college content and rigor.
• High school teachers can benefit from professional development opportunities available through various academic departments.
• High schools can better prepare their students for college readiness by exposing them to college-level material while they are in their familiar high school environment.

School Requirements

• The high school, or district office, signs a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Southeastern to offer DE courses at their facility and complies with all requirements outlined therein.
• The high school assigns a teacher who has completed the required Southeastern summer workshop for the specific course being offered. This teacher is referred to as a dual enrollment course facilitator.
• The high school ensures that course facilitators comply with all Southeastern policies and procedures as they relate to dual enrollment.
• The high school must provide appropriate classroom space, time and all necessary technology for completion of the course. 
• The high school must have a companion high school course that the student is enrolled in that “matches” the dual enrollment course.

Start your college career with dual enrollment at Southeastern and get an edge. Students participating in our Dual Enrollment Program have the potential to begin their college careers at the sophomore level. Here are a few things that you should know:

• Southeastern offers dual enrollment courses to your high school, not directly to you. As such your high school must be partnered with and have signed a Dual Enrollment Memorandum of Understanding for the semester(s) in which you wish to enroll at Southeastern.
• Each 3-credit hour dual enrollment course costs $225 (2024-2025 rate). There is no application fee and there is no textbook rental fee. Southeastern textbooks will be provided to your school for you to use while enrolled in the dual enrollment course.
• All dual enrollment final course grades will be recorded on your permanent, Southeastern transcript. Please note that should you withdraw from a course, your transcript will include a grade of W for each withdrawn course.

As mentioned above, all academic work is recorded on your permanent Southeastern transcript. This document is required by all academic institutions upon acceptance. Therefore, should you choose to attend another college or university, you will need to request an official copy of your transcript in order for it to be sent. Your high school counselor cannot request a transcript and your high school teacher cannot request your transcript. Only you can put in an official request for your Southeastern transcripts. There is a button on the main dual enrollment website that you can click to begin. Below is general information regarding that request. 

Southeastern offers an official transcript showing your Dual Enrollment courses and final grades. There is a $5 fee to have an electronic PDF copy of your transcript sent or $10 fee for printed transcripts to be either picked up or mailed for you. Refer to the Dual Enrollment website for information on our Parchment partner and instructions for requesting official transcripts.

If you have any questions about transcripts or college records, please contact the Office of the Registrar at [email protected] or call 985-549-5637. The Office of the Registrar is responsible for all official academic records at Southeastern Louisiana University. It’s important to note that Southeastern’s Dual Enrollment Office does not handle or process requests to distribute college records or transcripts.

High school teachers play a crucial role in Southeastern’s Dual Enrollment Program. They facilitate the delivery of course content, proctor exams, assess their high school students, serve as a daily learning resource for students and assist Southeastern in registration and enrollment. They collaborate closely with the Southeaster instructor of record for the course.
