Dual Enrollment
The Elizabeth Seton Dual Enrollment program allows for students to earn high school and college credits for several of our upper level courses. Students who successfully complete a dual enrollment course will receive 3 college credits from University of Notre Dame of Maryland.
In addition to the required high school credits, UND of MD guarantees that the credits will transfer to all colleges across the country; however, determination of how those credits re designated, as elective or course credits, is strictly dependent upon the university to which a student matriculates. Dual enrollment classes are taken here on our campus at Seton, taught by Seton teachers.
