Withdrawal Procedures

A dual credit student wishing to withdraw from a course must complete a course withdrawal form. Once completed, the form must be returned to the student's high school counselor, who will forward it to the Coordinator of Extended Studies. A student withdrawing from a course is subject to the same rules as any other University student and must meet the deadlines for refunds.

Grades

Students may view their grades through the Blue Tiger Portal. In accordance with FERPA guidelines, the University typically does not release grades to parents without the authorization of the student. All grades earned through the Lincoln University Dual Credit Program go on the student's permanent academic transcript.

Transferability of Credit

Most dual credit courses will transfer to other public colleges and universities within Missouri. Some institutions may limit the amount of courses students can transfer to their institution.  Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their prospective undergraduate institution to determine its dual credit transfer policy.
