Vincennes has two set-ups for their dual credit.  The one that most people/schools work with is called Project Excel and the other is referred to as Early College.

Project Excel is set up that the high school instructor completes most all of the paperwork (class rosters, course descriptions, student enrollment sheets, and etc.) and submits this information to the university.  The high school instructor is compensated for this work by receiving a stipend from the university.  The university pays the high school instructor a specific dollar amount for each of the students that are enrolled in the class(s) that they teach.  Each instructor of dual credit is mandated to attend a Professional Development day held on the Vincennes University Campus.

Most instructors teach more that one course for Vincennes.  The courses taught in Project Excel will vary depending on the course of instruction you teach.  Vincennes or your director will advise you what your topics will be.  If you are under the area of Early College you will most likely teach the same topics as Project Excel and you may also have an additional course that you teach

“Early College does not pay the high school instructor a stipend.  However, there is a person that you will report to from Vincennes that does most all the paperwork for you.  They should work hand-in-hand with you and assist you. The stipend is paid directly to the instructor and will be deposited directly into your checking or savings account, depending on how you set it up with Vincennes.”

If you have any questions about this process, do not hesitate to contact Vincennes University.
