YES! Once you are admitted into the program, all communication from FAU will be sent to your FAU email address ONLY. You can set your FAU email to be forwarded to another email account if you wish, but you should always communicate with FAU faculty and staff from your official FAU email account. Important reminders and deadlines will be sent to this account, so it is important that you check it regularly. Ultimately, you are responsible for any information sent to your FAU email account.

If you do not already have college-level mathematics coursework on your FAU record, then you must take the ALEKS before you can register for a math class. You should not take the ALEKS until after you have submitted a complete Dual Enrollment application and received confirmation that you have been admitted into the program. The ALEKS must be taken within one year of the start of the semester in which you plan to take a math class. It is recommended that you take the ALEKS at least three days before registration opens for the semester. For detailed information on the test, please see the ALEKS webpage.

If you want to register for a class that requires prerequisites, co‑requisites, or a placement/proficiency exam, and you have already met those requirements through previous college‑level classes, you must get a course override before registering.

To do this, you should contact the academic department that offers the course. The department will review your request and may give you a course override, which allows you to register for the class. You will need to provide proof that you have completed the required prerequisite(s), such as a transcript.

We strongly recommend requesting a course override at least two weeks before registration opens to allow enough time for review.

You can access the Searchable Schedule to search for classes offered each semester. If a class is not listed on the schedule then it is not being offered for the term

You will be able to register yourself online through your MyFAU account once the registration period opens. You will receive an email with information on how to log in and register for classes once your completed Dual Enrollment application has been processed. Detailed registration steps and video walkthroughs are also located on our Registration Info page. Always pay attention to the last day of drop/add for the term and make sure any changes to your schedule are completed by that date to avoid late fees and unintended course grades.

Yes, but you will need to submit a new Permission Form with the class listed on it. You will have until the last day of drop/add for the term to adjust your registration and submit a finalized Permission Form. Any new Permission Forms must be filled out completely and have all required signatures. If you are registered for any courses that are not on a signed Permission Form, then you will be dropped from the class(es) after drop/add ends.

Keep trying! Many students make schedule adjustments throughout the drop/add period (first week of classes) so there is always a chance that space may open up. If a class has a waitlist option, you should add yourself to it. If space opens in the class, you will be notified through your FAU email account.

You may also want to speak with your guidance counselor about adding some back-up course options. If you’re adding more course options, you can submit additional signed Permission Forms via email to hsdual@fau.edu until the last day of drop/add.

Some classes have a Waitlist option. If this is available, you can add yourself to it and thereby "save" your place in line in case a seat opens up. If a spot opens, you will receive an email to your FAU email account and you will have a limited amount of time to login and register yourself for the class. For detailed steps, please see the Registration Info page.

Tuition, registration, and lab fees are waived, but you are still responsible for the one-time Owl Card fee and the recurring Transportation Access Fee. Additionally, you will be responsible for any other fees that you may incur, such as library fines, parking tickets, Owl Card replacements, late registration or payment fees, etc. Please be aware of the last day to pay fees for the term; you should have paid your fees by that date to avoid late payment charges.
