Overview
A dual-credit student is a high school student who earns college credits by taking courses at BHSU or other South Dakota universities, including DSU, NSU, SDSMT, SDSU, and USD.
What Dual-Credit Students Need to Know About Their University-Assigned Account(s)
Primary University Account: When you enroll in your first course, you’ll apply to one of the South Dakota universities to begin earning college credit. This university will be your primary home university while you’re in high school, regardless of additional classes are taken at other institutions.
- For example, if your home university is BHSU but you're taking courses at SDSU or USD, you will still use your BHSU account to log into D2L and access your courses.
- It's important to check your BHSU email regularly, as instructors will use this as your primary means of communication.
Accessing Resources from Other Universities: If you need to access resources from a university other than your primary home university, you may be given an additional account for that university.
- Use this secondary account only for the specific resources necessary to complete your course.
Keep in mind that access to these resources may be revoked once the course ends, at the discretion of the other university. Continue to use your primary university account to complete your courses.
