Through high school support and reduced pricing of college credits your student will be on their way to a great future. Your student can earn early college credit from Eastern Oregon University through dual credit in their high school and directly from EOU faculty. By submitting an <strong>application<\/strong> and a <strong>financial responsibility form<\/strong> (see student tab), they are approved to take courses throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-eastern-gold-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">Dual Credit Courses Available at Participating Schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">All of the dual credit courses available to students count towards actual degrees at EOU! Earning both high school and college credit at the same time gets you closer to earning your degree and starting your career.

Eastern Oregon University partners with many high schools and is also available for students at a discounted rate.&nbsp; Take advantage of helping your student map out their future at Eastern.&nbsp; If students have taken classes from other universities or community colleges our specialist can help guide them to how those credits can work toward a degree at Eastern and what classes to take directly from EOU.&nbsp;
