How do I enroll?
First complete the Dual Admissions enrollment form and official admissions application available through the transfer/advising office at your community college. You may apply for the program as early as your senior year in high school but no later than the completion of 30 college-level credits at your community college.
Does this program guarantee me acceptance into Shippensburg and my major?
You must maintain continuous enrollment at your community college and meet all SU admissions requirements, including grade point average, for your intended major to be accepted. Click here for a list of these admissions requirements.

When do I enroll at Shippensburg University?
Every semester that you are enrolled in the Dual Admissions Program, the Admissions Office at Ship will receive a updated copy of your community college transcript. The semester prior to transferring, your application file will be reviewed for admission.
If accepted, the Dean of Admissions will send you a letter of admission along with a transcript evaluation and confirmation packet. Return the enclosed confirmation form with your deposit check of $100 if you are a commuter student or $200 if you are a residential student.
After the confirmation form and deposit are received, Admissions will mail you additional information about Orientation and the start of the semester. The College that houses your major will develop your upcoming semester schedule.
