Dual Credit Cost and Payment Guide

Students who take courses on their high school campus or online/distance education dual credit classes will be charged $50 per credit hour. A three-hour course would cost $150, and a four-hour course would cost $200. Cost options vary by high school.

Through the Financial Aid for Swift Transfer (FAST) program, educationally disadvantaged students may qualify for dual credit at no cost to the student. The FAST program defines educationally disadvantaged students as those eligible for free/reduced lunch at any time in the four school years prior to dual credit enrollment. Students attending a public Texas school district or charter school who meet FAST qualifications will not be charged the cost of dual credit courses or course materials for those courses. ASU will work with the state agencies to identify eligible students each year.

Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks required for the course and payment of any textbook fees for the course.

If a student decides to drop after the 12th class day, ASU will follow the university refund policy. Please note, there are refund differences between dropping a course while remaining in other courses and withdrawing from all courses.

Students and authorized users have the option to pay the bill in full by the 18th class day, or sign up for an optional installment plan. If the installment plan is selected, the first payment and the $30 installment plan fee are due by the 18th class day. 

Students and authorized users have the option to pay the bill fully by the advertised payment deadline, or sigh up for an installment plan. If the installment plan is selected, a $30 installment plan fee will be added to the bill. Please see the information below to request an installment plan.
