Enrollment and Registration
Both NDCDE and MaSU require students to complete an application to determine their eligibility for dual credit courses. This process begins with students, parents, or schools completing the NDCDE-Mayville State University Dual Credit Inquiry form. This form must be completed before selecting and checking out with one of these courses in the NDCDE store.
