Taking Additional Courses at George Mason

After taking dual enrollment courses, if students wish to take a higher-level course on George Mason’s campus or online, this is considered a non-degree course and students must fill out the George Mason non-degree application and follow that process. The cost for this course will be the same as a typical George Mason course.

All college credit pre-requisites must be met to take these higher-level courses. Students must complete the entire application process during the semester in which they take their dual-enrollment course to receive college credit.
