Dual Admission Eligibilty Requirements

Text First-time college students who enroll at STLCC and also meet UMSL's
first-time college student admission requirements will be eligible to participate in DAP.

Dual admission to STLCC and UMSL is available to students planning to complete an Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Fine Arts (AFA), Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT), Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Human Services, Criminology and Criminal Justice, or Associate in Nursing degree at STLCC and a baccalaureate degree at UMSL.

Students may enroll in the program in any semester provided that they meet the requirements and have not completed more than 45 college credit hours.

New transfer students admitted to STLCC also may participate provided they meet the following requirements:

  • Earned at least 24 semester hours of college-level credit with a 2.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and meet all other UMSL transfer admission requirements
  • Must submit a DAP application to UMSL prior to completing 45 hours of college credit

Criteria for Maintaining Dual Admission Status

All students in the DAP must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) based on all college-level work -- 100 level or above -- as calculated by the sending institution.

They also must maintain good academic standing as defined by each institution. A student who is dropped from the DAP may continue at either institution if academically eligible to do so. When good standing is regained, the student may be reinstated to DAP as long as he/she still is within the 45-credit-hour limit for participation.

Students must complete the appropriate transfer degree at STLCC within three years of acceptance into the DAP and enroll at UMSL within one academic semester following graduation from STLCC.

A student may end the dual admission agreement at any time before completion of the transfer associate degree at STLCC. He/she will be expected to submit in writing to both institutions the decision to withdraw from the program. This student now will be subject to standard application and admissions procedures at UMSL.
