CCP Admissions Criteria & Deadlines
Students enrolled in MVNU's CCP program are able to take college courses on campus, online, or at one of our partner high schools.
MVNU’s criteria for College Credit Plus/Dual Enrollment admission include either a) 3.0 unweighted high school GPA OR b) 2.5 unweighted high school GPA and a “college ready” score on an approved exam. Approved exams include ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer. If you have not completed an exam, MVNU will provide one attempt at no cost to the student.
MVNU has developed three pathway options, listed below.
- Pathway 1: Submit official test scores. If you have ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer scores (not previously submitted to MVNU) please request a copy of your scores to be sent from your high school counselor or the testing organization to dualenrollment@mvnu.edu.
- Pathway 2: Complete the Accuplacer test on MVNU’s campus. In-person testing is available beginning in January 2022. Click here for available dates and registration information. In-person Accuplacer testing is available to students at no cost. At this time remote testing is not offered. If remote testing options become available in the future, information will be updated here.
- Pathway 3: Prior CCP course completion. Students who have successfully completed CCP courses through another college may submit an official college transcript in lieu of placement testing.
