Learn about costs and payment options for Dual Enrollment students.

Financial Information and Benefits

MVNU strives to make education affordable to ALL students — from Ohio, in nearby states, and around the globe. 

Ohio Public School Students (CCP)

If you've met the elegibility requirements listed on the Dual Enrollment Home page,, CCP is free*! This includes your books, tuition, and fees. You’ll be awarded up to 30 credit hours per academic year. If you take a course at your high school at the same time you’re participating in the CCP program, you have to reduce the number of available credits by 3. (Yearly CCP Credits: 30. But wait. I’m taking Pre-Calculus at my high school. CCP Credits: 30-3 = 27 available credits).

*If you fail a class, your family will have to pay the full price, so make sure you’re ready. If you’re not sure, chat with your school counselor. Remember that your Intent to Participate is due to your school counselor by April 1!

Non-Public School or Homeschool Students (CCP)

The amount of money you’ll be awarded for CCP will vary depending on what is available. Get your application in early. The state CCP application opens in early February. Remember that the application has to be completed by April 1! 

Once you’ve received your funding award notification, send a copy to our office to DualEnrollment@mvnu.edu. Please note that this type of award does not cover books. You can contact the Dual Enrollment office at MVNU to see if your non-public school is participating in our book rental program and discover what that means for you. Homeschool students will need to purchase their own books.

Non-Ohio School (Dual Enrollment)

You’re still welcome to participate in Dual Enrollment at MVNU! You’ll need to review the Family Pay option below.

Family Pay 

  • $167 per credit hour (approximately one-fifth of our regular tuition costs)
  • Available to all students
  • Course fees and textbooks are the responsibility of the family

CCP Residential Option

Are you going to be a senior in high school? Are you done with your high school coursework? Are you ready to jump into college life?

MVNU is one of the only schools in the state of Ohio that allows high school seniors to live on campus their senior year. Students who have completed their high school graduation requirements and who are ready to begin their college journey early, can live in the dorms with our freshman class at our reduced CCP tuition rates or tuition free for CCP students (housing and meals required).

Why wait?
