Dual Enrollment
Pennsylvania Highlands ACE Application and Registration for Fall and Full Year Classes is Open!
Welcome back to what I know will be a great school year! As you begin the new year, below is some information on ACE dual enrollment.
Students can apply and register for Fall and Full Year courses until Friday, September 27, 2024. Please be aware that the ACE application does close on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. No applications will be permitted after the deadline. For more information and key dates, please refer to the attached flyer. If you would like to request a mass registration day at your district, please reach out to me, Kay-Leigh Davis, at [email protected] or at 814-262-3859.

Tuition for ACE courses for 2023/2024 is $69 per credit.
Placement Test Waivers
We are continuing an expanded waiver procedure for the 2023/2024 school year. Students in the ACE program will be permitted to enroll into college level math and ENG110 English Composition 1 courses without placement exam based on school district/teacher recommendation. Students will automatically be cleared to register for ENG110 English Composition 1 and all math courses up to, and including, MAT145 College Algebra. For courses above MAT145 College Algebra (i.e. MAT170 Precalculus or MAT210 Calculus), students will complete a paper registration form to enroll.
All ACE students will have this waiver automatically applied. If a school district representative is unsure if a student is ready for a college level math or English course, they can request a placement test to be given.
*Please note – this waiver does not apply to course pre-requisites, such as ENG200 English Composition 2. Students must still take ENG110 or transfer in eligible AP test scores or other college credits to take ENG200. High School Transcripts will also still be needed for BIO202/212 Anatomy and Physiology, showing the high school biology pre-requisite.

The deadline to submit both the application and paperwork for summer is May 21, 2025, and for fall it is August 11, 2025. We must have both the completed application and paperwork by the deadline date. We are no longer admitting and registering students up through drop/add as we need time to make sure all new students have had an orientation prior to the start of the semester and time to secure seats.
We allow sophomores, juniors, and seniors to take advantage of the IUP Dual Enrollment program. Sophomores are restricted to one course per semester beginning the summer between their freshman and sophomore years. While juniors and seniors may register for a maximum of two courses a semester. They may register for classes online or at the Indiana, Northpointe, or Punxsutawney campuses.
**Online classes are asynchronous and do not have a scheduled class time each week. Students are expected to be online every day working on assignments and participating in class.**
Important dates:
- The summer and fall schedule will be available for viewing beginning March 1, 2025.
- The online application opens March 1, 2025.
- You may start submitting paperwork next week to [email protected]

The current summer tuition and fees information can be found here. We lowered our cost to $100 per credit. A three-credit class will cost $300. We no longer offer scholarships. Students can pay by credit card, check, or payment plan. Please note that 2025-26 tuition and fees has not been determined yet.
A few things-
- Make sure you enter the current CGPA and initial for accuracy for all students every semester.
- The student must have a minimum 3.0 CGPA or better to participate.
- All new dual enrollment students must complete orientation before the start of their first semester with us.
- Students only need to submit an official transcript request form if the school district will be awarding high school credit. If your school does not award credit for dual enrollment, an official transcript request form is no longer required.
- Dual enrollment students may only be registered for an English class during summer I. We do not permit English registration in the fall and spring semesters.
- Placement testing is required for English, math, and upper-level foreign language classes. No student will be registered for an English, math, or any upper-level foreign language course without placement test results. All placement testing is completed online.
