Dual Enrollment at Shepherd University

Shepherd University has partnered with Berkeley County Schools to allow high school seniors to take approved BCS dual credit courses on Shepherd's main campus if the time schedule aligns with the student's high school schedule. Seniors must be enrolled in seven periods at the high school. Each dual credit course counts as one of your seven periods.

College credits will count towards a degree at Shepherd or may transfer to other U.S. colleges and universities.

Juniors may take classes, but they must be in the evening after the school day. Juniors must take 7 high school classes at Spring Mills High School.
