Dual Enrollment
You've Been Accepted!
Congratulations on your acceptance to Mount Vernon Nazarene University!
As a Dual Enrollment student, you are a valuable part of our student community. Our Dual Enrollment students can do everything our traditional MVNU students do (with the exception of Varsity and Reserve Sports). Where do YOU fit? Do you love sports? Join one of our intramural or sports teams. Love music? Play in an ensemble or on the jazz band. Are you the star of the stage? Join the cast and crew for our spring musical. MVNU Dual Enrollment students can also check out gear from the REC (kayaks, bikes, etc.), use our weight rooms, attend chapel (optional), join a COSMO or Life Group… The options are nearly limitless! Choose the level of involvement that best works for YOU!
New Student Orientation
We offer multiple options for orientation, based on student type. Please refer to the list below, and make sure you register with the appropriate group:
Full time, on-campus
(12-16 credit hours per semester, usually 4-6 classes per semester)
Students must attend New Student Orientation (NSO) with incoming freshman students in June. Students can register for NSO through their Application Status Page under Step 2. Be sure to complete this checklist item and then save the date on your calendar!
Part time, on-campus
(1-11 credit hours per semester, usually 1-3 classes per semester)
Students must attend the orientation in late July or early August. Students can register for NSO through their Application Status Page under Step 2. Be sure to complete this checklist item and then save the date on your calendar!
Online students
Students must complete a virtual orientation. After acceptance, you received an email with a link to the Online New Student Orientation. You may complete this any time prior to the start of classes.
Commuter Student Resources
As some of our buildings require an ID for entry, all commuting students need an ID. IDs can be obtained at the Motherboard Tech Center (in the lower level of the Thorne Library building) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
IDs can also be ordered at any of our on-campus New Student Orientations.
If you are parking on campus, you are required to register your vehicle online before the first day of school. The cost to purchase a parking decal is $50 per term. Once you have paid for your decal, you can pick it up at the Campus Safety Office.
As a CCP commuting student, you are permitted to park in either of the two Chapel parking lots. Should those lots be full, you are also permitted to park behind Ariel Arena.
Confused about where to find things at MVNU? The resources below will help you find your way!
CCP students can purchase a meal plan or add Road Bucks to their Student IDs through the MVNU Student Portal: Campus Food link.
- Meal plans are used in the cafeteria in the lower level of Hyson Campus Center.
- Road Bucks can be used in the cafeteria, 586 Student Union in Ariel Arena, Happy Bean in the Thorne Library, and Happy Bean's downtown location.
Commuters have a new Commuter Lounge outside the cafeteria and new REC space in the lower level of Hyson Campus Center. This space is dedicated to YOU to give you a place to hang out, eat lunch, or study.
Accepted Student FAQs
See some of the most frequently asked questions (and answers) below. Still have questions? Email DualEnrollment@mvnu.edu.
The primary form of communication is through email directly to the professor. Students are expected to be proactive in their communication! If you are unwell and will miss class, email your professor to let them know and to make arrangements to make up any missed work.
CCP students are excused from classes for university-sponsored events and extracurricular events sanctioned by the student’s home high school or middle school. Students must communicate with faculty and provide documentation of their participation in the event for the absence to be excused. The documentation should be verified by a school administrator, coach, or director in charge of the event for it to be valid.
Other excused absences include emergency or death in the immediate family, legal responsibilities, short-term illness, extended illness, and more. Please see the Traditional Academic Catalog for additional details.
Attendance in online classes is taken through interaction with the class weekly. Students should be turning in work on time, participating in discussion boards, etc., every week. If a student does not participate for an entire week, they will be counted as absent unexcused.
No. MVNU’s Algebra course is a remedial course that is taught at the high school level. CCP funding does not apply to this course. Student who want to increase their math skills are welcome to use the Family Pay option to take this course.
If your school opts-in to our Textbook Rental Program, MVNU’s Dual Enrollment Office will purchase your textbooks and any class codes that you need. If your school does not participate in our Textbook Rental Program, your school counselor will work with you to get your textbooks. If you are a homeschooled student, you will need to purchase your textbooks here.
Many of the products that use an access code provide a free trial of the material. If you start with the free trial, this trial will expire (usually 7-14 days after initial access), and you will need to provide the code that was purchased for you (or you will need to purchase if not participating in MVNU’s Textbook Rental Program). This code can be found on your MVNU Ecampus Digital Bookshelf.
If you are having issues logging into your MVNU email account (not your Application Status Page), please reach out to our Motherboard Tech Center between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM weekdays at 740-397-9000 Ext. 5555.
If you must miss class for any reason, you should email your professor(s) as soon as you know that you will be absent. If you need to receive an excused absence, please email the details of the absence (sickness, specific school event, etc.) to AcademicAffairs@mvnu.edu. You will also need to provide any proofs that they require (doctor’s excuse, etc.).
If you drop a class after University Statistics Day, you will receive a “W” grade that does not affect your GPA. However, if you are a public-school student, your home high school can request reimbursement for the tuition and books for the class. If you are a private school student or a homeschooled student, your hours for that class are used and cannot be reallocated to another class.
MVNU feels that it is important for all students to know and understand their rights and how MVNU can support them. The state of Ohio also requires certain trainings at the college level. Accordingly, Dual Enrollment students have a modified track of 3 mandatory trainings including Title 9, FERPA, and Hazing.
If you email your request to DualEnrollment@mvnu.edu with your name, sport, and which quarter your need the form for, the Dual Enrollment office will complete the form and will return it to you. We are able to provide all your grades at one time; no need to go to each professor.
