Early College Online & On Campus

Early College

Jump-start your college degree!

The Early College/Dual-Enrollment program provides a great opportunity for high school students to get started earning credit toward a college degree during their high school years. And the best news is that students enrolled in the program receive a  significant discount off the regular tuition rate.

Fall 2023 fully online Early College courses

View Course Offerings

The deadline to apply for Fall 2023 is August 18

Get the details below, or contact us at  crossroads@geneva.edu  for more information. And then get started by applying for admission.

  • Early College Application
Eligibility  

Students must be at least 16 years old, be a junior in high school, and have a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) and/or a minimum 1000 SAT, 20 ACT score, or 65 CLT score.

Early College students can benefit from the reduced tuition rate until May 1 of their senior year in high school.  After that date, a student who enrolls in a new course will be charged the tuition and fees that apply to traditional undergraduate students at Geneva College.

Course Selection Information  

Course Locations

On Campus: Public, private, and home school students who live in Western Pennsylvania or Eastern Ohio are invited to take classes on Geneva College’s main campus in Beaver Falls.

Online: Geneva offers online classes in which high school students can enroll. These classes are taught by Geneva College faculty and run for 8-week, 12-week, or 16-week sessions.

Course Timing

Courses can be taken during any of Geneva's regular semesters, May term, or summer sessions. Day and evening courses are available; however, courses offered on campus during the day must be coordinated and approved by a student′s high school.

Course Options

Typically, high school students will take freshman-level courses that are considered general education or core requirements. These are 100- or 200-level courses in the natural sciences, humanities, English, philosophy, math, Spanish, and psychology or other social sciences.


Freshmen-level courses in the natural sciences or in majors such as business, engineering, or any other major offered at Geneva may also be taken with the permission of Crossroads. Some courses have prerequisites (such as math proficiency), so students should consult with Crossroads (see above) before registering to be certain that they meet the prerequisite requirements.


For Example:

  • Calculus I, II (MAT 161, 162)
  • Foundations of Biology (lab course; BIO 107)
  • General College Chemistry (lab course; CHM 111)
  • Researched Writing (ENG 113)
  • General Physics (PHY 181, 182)

For course descriptions and prerequisite requirements, see the “Undergraduate Course Descriptions” section of the current Geneva Catalog.

How to Find Available Courses

To find available courses on campus and online, go to myGeneva and click on “Course Search” in the gold box in the center of the page. On the Course Search page, enter your search parameters.

  • Begin by selecting the appropriate Traditional Undergraduate term in the first drop-down box (either Spring Term, Summer Term, or Fall Term).
  • Next, select “All” (the default) or the appropriate department
  • Select any additional parameters you wish
  • For 12- or 16-week online courses: choose "Geneva College Online" from the "Campus" drop-down menu
  • For 8-week online courses: choose “Online” from the “Campus” drop-down menu
  • Click on the “Search” button

Remember that some courses have prerequisites. Refer to the current Geneva College catalog for prerequisites.

Contact the Crossroads office at crossroads@geneva.edu with your course selection in order to be registered for a class.

Credit, Transfer, & Course Change Information  

Credit Limit

Students are limited to a maximum of seven (7) credits each semester, with a maximum of twenty-four (24) credits while enrolled in the Early College/Dual Enrollment program. Students may continue taking credits beyond 24, however, credits above the 24-credit limit are charged at full tuition rates.

Transferring Courses

Geneva College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Full college credit is granted and included on a transcript provided by Geneva. Should a student decide not to attend Geneva as a full-time student (but we hope they will), courses may be transferred to other colleges and universities. When enrolling at an institution other than Geneva, it is best to discuss with that college or university how the credits you have earned will transfer. Official transcripts are available through the Geneva College Registrar’s Office for a nominal fee.

Adding/Dropping Courses

Early College students follow the same academic calendar as regular undergraduate students. The course add/drop deadlines can be viewed here. If an Early College student wants to add or drop a class, he or she needs to email the Crossroads office ( crossroads@geneva.edu) at least 24 hours before the listed deadline.

Tuition & Fees  
Tuition $198 per credit hour ($594 - 3-credit course, $792 - 4-credit course)
Summer On-campus Administrative Fee $95 (one-time, not per course) (only applies to summer on-campus courses)
Lab/Course Fees Some classes, such as labs, carry additional fees. Check the course description on MyGeneva to see if the course you have selected has any additional course fees.

Course charges do not cover textbooks or other course materials.

Refund Policy

Early College students are bound to the same refund policy as regular Geneva College students.

Note: There are no refunds of course or administrative fees after the start of the term.

Additional Information  

Textbooks and Course Materials

The Geneva College Bookstore provides the current list of materials you will need for your courses. 

Geneva Email Account Information

Early College students enrolled in on campus courses or in online courses will receive credentials for logging into the myGeneva and eLearning systems. They will also receive a Geneva email which is to be used for corresponding with Crossroads and other offices and faculty. This information will be sent to students from Crossroads prior to the beginning of classes. Per Geneva policy, once a student has a Geneva email, that is the only email that the College will use to communicate with the student. It is the student’s obligation to check their Geneva email regularly.

Early College Orientation

New Early College students taking courses on campus will be invited to an orientation session the week before classes start for the Fall and Spring semesters. Information will be sent to all new students after they are registered.

Geneva Student ID Cards

Early College students taking courses on campus are eligible for student ID cards in order to access resource materials at the McCartney Library. Students taking courses exclusively online will not receive a Geneva student ID card.

Parking Permits

Parking permits are required and obtained through the Security Office. Students who park on campus without a proper permit are subject to ticketing.

College Facilities

Early College students may use the McCartney Library, purchase meals with cash at Alexander Dining Hall or the Brig, and use all public lounge/study spaces on campus. Please be aware that because Early College students are not assessed the Student Services Fee, they are not eligible to use the mail room, campus Fitness Center/gyms, counseling services, free tutoring through the Student Success Center, or any other services provided through the Student Services Fee.

Questions?

Crossroads: Geneva’s Center for Enriched Learning is home to the Early College program and is prepared to advise high school students about what courses might be best to take, how to register, how to navigate campus, and to answer any other questions students have about participating in the Early College program.
