FAQ

Concurrent enrollment is the opportunity to take college level classes while you are still in high school. For example, your school offers MAT 102, a math class (statistics) through NU. You will receive high school credit for the course and, concurrently, if you register and pay for the course, you will receive college credit for it as well.

Each participating high school offers courses that they feel will complement their high school curriculum. Courses that are available through NUSTEP include:

• English Literature
• Writing
• French / Spanish
• Hospitality
• Business (Accounting, Economics, Commerce)
• Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry)
• Social Sciences (Psychology, Sociology)
• Government
• Mathematics
• Communications

Contact us and we'll talk to a represntative about offering NUSTEP in your school.

Niagara University also offers a program called High School on Campus. If you are still in high school (grade 11 or 12) and you live close enough to attend classes on campus, you are welcome to do so.

• Go to Records to see if the class you wish to take is being offered. Check course availability
• You will need to complete a High School on Campus application, have your school counselor approve and bring the application to the NUSTEP office on Niagara University's campus. 
• Seats in classes are offered first to full-time NU students. If seats are available after they have registered, you will then be able to register for the course.
• The cost of the program is the same as the NUSTEP program, $60 per credit hour. You will be billed by the student accounts office and you will need to pay your bill upon receipt.

Once you are registered, and you complete the course and receive a grade, you would need to contact the Records Office at  NU, or go to the webpage, www.niagara.edu/records.  Follow the directions to request a transcript, and once completed, an official copy of your NU transcript will be sent to the school of your choosing.

Your instructor will monitor your progress in class and if it appears that you will not be able to successfully complete the course, the instructor will withdraw you from the course. You will not receive any monies back.
