Attention Districts & High School Administrators

To teach a dual credit course, secondary school teachers must be approved by Bellarmine University and meet the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges , as well as Bellarmine’s internal faculty qualification standards.

Dual credit faculty must meet the same academic and professional standards as instructors teaching on Bellarmine’s campus to ensure rigorous, college-level instruction.

Faculty Credentialing Requirements

• As a Dual Credit faculty member, you’ll need to demonstrate your qualifications by submitting the following:
• Official College Transcripts – Verifying degree(s) earned.
• Current CV or Résumé – Documenting teaching experience and work history.
• Proof of Relevant Work Experience – Submit official documentation (such as letters from employers or position descriptions) to support your expertise in the subject area, as needed to comply with SACSCOC accreditation standards.
• Industry Certifications or Licenses –  If applicable to the course being taught, provide copies of current certifications or licenses, as needed to meet SACSCOC credentialing requirements.
• Additional Documentation –  ou may be asked to submit other materials to support your qualifications, as needed to comply with Å©·òµ¼º½ policy and SACSCOC guidelines.

Important Considerations

• Qualifications may vary by course and discipline, even within the same subject area.
• Å©·òµ¼º½ reviews and verifies instructor credentials to ensure compliance.
• Instructors may NOT teach dual credit courses until the credentialing process is fully completed and approved.

By maintaining high standards for dual credit faculty, we ensure students receive a true college experience while upholding SACSCOC accreditation requirements.
