Jax State Dual Enrollment tuition only $33 per credit hour
Jacksonville State University is making sure high school students’ path to college starts with both value and support. All in-state students and out-of-state online students participating in Jax State’s Dual Enrollment program pay just $33 per credit hour, or $99 for a standard 3-hour course in fall and spring*. That’s a savings of over 90% compared to the undergraduate rate. But at Jax State, affordability doesn’t mean limitation — it means access.
*Jax State’s dual enrollment tuition rate is $133 per credit hour; however, Jax State will apply a scholarship that reduces the net charge to $33 per credit hour for students. This scholarship will be reflected on the student’s account. The scholarship is processed manually and may not be reflected immediately when students register for courses.
Tuition
JSU offers tuition at a reduced rate for Dual Enrollment students with no university fees for fall and spring semesters. Students are limited to two courses at the reduced rate (up to 7 credit hours if taking a course that has a lab co-requisite). Enrollment for additional courses will be at the undergraduate student tuition rate with university fees added.
The cost of tuition does not cover any required textbooks, software, or lab kits.
There is no financial aid available for Dual Enrollment students, but PACT plans and military benefits may be used. Please contact the Office of Student Accounts if you plan to use a prepaid tuition program to pay for DE courses. Please contact Veteran and Military Services to inquire about use of military dependent benefits. Payment plans may also be set up through the student’s MyJaxState account prior to the payment deadline.
Textbooks
Dual enrollment students will use JaxBooks for all course textbooks. Students will pay $25.99 per credit hour for all course textbooks (digital or print). Lab kits are not included in JaxBooks and must be purchased separately. Instructions for how to opt-in or opt-out of the JaxBooks program will be sent to students’ JSU email accounts.
Scholarships
Jax State's Dual Enrollment program offers scholarship opportunities in fall and spring semesters through our J-STEAM and Ambassador scholarship programs.
Jax State and Alabama's CHOOSE Act
Jacksonville State University has been approved as an Education Service Provider (ESP) through Alabama's CHOOSE Act, allowing eligible families to use Education Savings Account (ESA) funds toward Jax State Dual Enrollment courses.
This exciting opportunity expands access to college coursework, helping high school students earn college credit while investing in their future.
