Dual Enrollment students are charged for courses they enroll in through Williston State College.

The subsidized rate for early entry courses is $83.89 per credit hour. A 3-credit course would be $268.29. Courses being taught at a high school by a high school instructor would fall under this cost.

The unsubsidized rate for early entry courses is $148.42 per credit house. A 3-credit course would be $461.88. Courses being taught online, through ITV, or on WSC's campus would fall under this cost. 

Dual Enrollment bills are sent the 5th week of the semester. These accounts are manually adjusted after all enrollment has been processed. Please wait until this time to pay your bill. Paper bills are sent to these students as all students do not have to set up their student email. Dual Enrollment students do not have to pay by the fee payment deadline as bills are not adjusted by this time. For information on Payment Options, please click here.
