Registration Process for Accepted Students

To ensure a smooth transition in the course selection process, the Dual Enrollment Building Liaison role is to work closely with accepted students to guide them through the registration process. By following these steps and working closely with the Dual Enrollment Building Liaison, accepted students can navigate the registration process effectively and make informed decisions about their academic pathway in the dual enrollment program.

Accepted students will have an initial meeting with the Dual Enrollment Building Liaison at their respective high schools. During this meeting, the liaison will provide students with important information about the dual enrollment program, including course offerings, academic requirements, and registration procedures.

Once the student is accepted, the Building Liaison and Dual Enrollment Ambassadors will assist students in setting up their Blackboard username, student ID#, and EagleLINKS accounts. These accounts are essential for accessing course materials, communicating with instructors, and managing academic progress throughout the dual enrollment program.

Before completing the course selection process, students will meet with either the High School Building Liaison and/or the Professional School Counselor during an advisor session. This meeting is crucial for discussing academic goals, selecting appropriate courses, and addressing any concerns or questions that students may have about the dual enrollment program.

After meeting with the High School Building Liaison and/or the Professional School Counselor, students will proceed to login to their EagleLINKS Account and select their courses for the upcoming semester. The High School Building Liaison and/or the Professional School Counselor will guide them in choosing courses that align with students’ academic interests, career goals, and college readiness. Each participating district provides a list of course equivalencies to guide the dual enrollment process. Additional courses may be offered as electives but must be determined in consultation with the Counselor.

Once students have selected their courses, the Building Liaison will finalize students' registration by completing the “Course Registration Form” with all appropriate "wet" signatures. Once the Course Registration Form is completed, it should be submitted to the Dual Enrollment Coordinator confirming course schedules and ensuring that all requirements

Course Load

Reasoning Behind the Limit

Dual Enrollment students are allowed to register for a maximum of six credits per semester or two courses each semester. This limit is in place to ensure that students can balance their high school coursework with the rigor of college-level classes. The restriction on the number of credits a Dual Enrollment student can take per semester is based on several factors:

  1. Academic Preparedness: High school students may not be fully prepared for the intensity and workload of college courses. Limiting the number of credits allows them to gradually adjust to the demands of higher education.
  2. Time Management: Balancing high school commitments with college coursework requires strong time management skills. By restricting the course load, students are encouraged to prioritize their responsibilities effectively.
  3. Success Rate: Research has shown that students who take too many courses at once may struggle academically or experience burnout. Limiting the credit hours aims to enhance student success rates in Dual Enrollment programs.

Benefits of Course Load Limit

Enforcing a maximum credit limit for Dual Enrollment students offers several benefits:

  1. Academic Success: By preventing students from overloading themselves, institutions promote academic success and help students maintain a strong GPA.
  2. Reduced Stress: A manageable course load reduces stress levels among high school students, allowing them to focus on learning and personal growth.
  3. Graduation Timeline: By pacing their college credits, Dual Enrollment students can better plan their academic journey and potentially graduate from college earlier.

Dual Enrollment students are not eligible for the following:

  1. Enrollment in more than two classes per semester
  2. Evening courses, unless approved by Building Liaison and/or Building Level Administration
  3. Graduate courses
  4. Any course that requires a pre-requisite that has not been met.

  • Click on the “Student” tab.
  • Select “Registration.”
  • Choose “Add or Drop Classes.”

Step 3: Selecting Term:

  • Pick the appropriate term for which you want to request courses.

Step 4: Adding Courses:

  • Click on “Submit Changes.”

Step 5: Reviewing and Confirming Courses:

  • Verify that the courses added are correct.

Step 7: Checking Registration Status:

Step 8: Making Changes (if needed):

Academic Policies

Dropping a course or withdrawing from a course may have various consequences on your academic standing and financial aid eligibility. It is essential to understand the policies and procedures before making such decisions. A student may drop or withdraw from the course/s using an electronic process in EagleLINKS. A dropped course will not reflect on a student’s transcript. Students have the option to withdraw from a course approximately three weeks before the semester concludes. Before withdrawing or dropping from a course, dual enrollment students must consult their high school guidance counselor to determine the impact on their high school graduation requirements. The high school counselor must sign the “Dual Enrollment Withdrawal Form”.

Dropping a Course

Dropping a course means removing oneself from a course after the add/drop period has ended. This action may have an impact on your academic record and financial aid eligibility. According to the University Academic Calendar, the add/drop period usually lasts for the first few days of the semester. After this period, students must follow the withdrawal procedure to drop a course.

Withdrawing from a Course

Withdrawing from a course involves officially removing oneself from a class after the add/drop period has ended. The process typically requires students to complete a “Dual Enrollment Withdrawal Form” and submit it to the Dual Enrollment Coordinator. The deadlines for withdrawal vary depending on the course format (traditional, hybrid, or online) and the semester (fall, spring, summer).

Consequences of Dropping or Withdrawing from a Course

The consequences of dropping or withdrawing from a course depend on several factors such as the reason for withdrawal, the point in time when you initiate the process, and your overall academic performance. Generally, withdrawing from a course can affect your GPA, financial aid eligibility, and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status.

How to Drop or Withdraw from a Course

To drop or withdraw from a Dual Enrollment course, follow these steps:

  1. Check the Academic Calendar: Consult the Coppin State University Academic Calendar to determine the last day to drop or withdraw from a course without academic penalties.
  2. Contact Your Instructor: Before deciding, discuss your situation with your instructor to understand the implications for your academic performance.
  3. Seek Advising Support: Consult with Building Level Liaison and/or Professional School Counselor to discuss the implications of your decision on your academic plan and future goals.
  4. Complete the Required Forms: Obtain and fill out the appropriate “Dual Enrollment Withdrawal Form” from the Dual Enrollment Coordinator.
  5. Submit the Forms: Submit the completed forms to the Dual Enrollment Coordinator before the deadline.

PLEASE NOTE: Dual Enrollment students are not permitted to add any courses to their schedule after their Registration and Orientation Day with approval from Dual Enrollment Coordinator. In addition, students should review the academic calendar for official ADD/DROP and Withdrawal deadlines.

We strive to uphold the College’s core values of honesty, responsibility, fairness, respect, & compassion. In addition, we strive to foster a learning environment that is both challenging and supportive of all our students. It is the responsibility of every student enrolled at Coppin State University to avoid all forms of academic dishonesty including, but not limited to, the following:

  1. Plagiarism: The intentional or unintentional use of another source of written words or ideas as one’s own. It will be taken for granted that any work, oral or written, that a student does for any course is his/her original work. Any violation of this rule constitutes plagiarism.

  3. Falsification, Fabrication Or Misrepresentation: The creation or alteration of data, research, or resources/citations in connection with an academic assignment or records.
  4. Copyright Infringement: The unauthorized use of copyrighted work. Such as when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner.

  5. Lying: Intentionally making false or misleading statements in verbal, written, visual, electronic, or other
  6. Complicity In Or Aid Of Academic Dishonesty: Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to assist another person in activities such as: allowing other students to copy from one’s works, assisting in cheating, sharing test questions/answers, taking an examination for another student, selling/offering course materials such as term papers, essays, projects, etc., and any other forms
  7. Submission Of Paper or Academic Work Purchased or Obtained: Submitting any paper or academic work that was purchased or otherwise obtained from an outside source. An outside source includes (but is not limited to) a commercial vendor of research papers, a file of research papers or tests maintained by a student organization or other body or person, or any other source of papers or of academic work that was authored or prepared by a person other than the student who submits it.

D Poor, but passing one grade point
E Failing zero grade points (no credit)

Students need to familiarize themselves with the attendance policies of their institution to avoid receiving an “AW” grade and any associated consequences. Each instructor that has dual enrollment students in their classes will set an attendance policy for the course, which is stated in the course syllabus. Students are required to meet all attendance requirements and students who have class trips and/or external activities at the time when class is scheduled are expected to meet the course requirements. Students should be aware that non-attendance or missing sessions may result in removal from the program at the end of the semester. Students who violate the Class Attendance Policy before the official withdrawal period will receive an “AW” as a grade. Students who violate the Class Attendance Policy after the official withdrawal period will receive a” FX” as a grade.

  • “AW” stands for Administrative Withdrawal. Students who violate the Class Attendance Policy before the official withdrawal period will receive an “AW” as a grade. This grade indicates that the student has been administratively withdrawn from the course due to attendance policy violation. Administrative withdrawal is used when a student fails to meet the attendance requirements set by the university or the instructor. It serves to enforce attendance policies and ensure that students are actively participating in their courses. The “AW” grade does not carry any academic credit and may have implications for a student’s academic standing or financial aid eligibility.
  • FX is issued to students at Coppin State University who violate the Class Attendance Policy after the official withdrawal period. This grade is assigned when a student stop attending classes without officially withdrawing from the course. The FX grade indicates that the student failed due to excessive absences and did not complete the required coursework. Dual Enrollment students who receive an FX grade may face academic consequences, such as removal from the program.
