Advanced ACCP (ADV) | Rockhurst University

ADV PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Rockhurst University's Advanced ACCP (ADV) program offers courses for current high school students on Rockhurst's campus, taught by Rockhurst University faculty for college credit. Being on Rockhurst's campus will allow students to get a glimpse into the college experience while unlocking access to all of RU's student resources. Students can only register if their high school has previously made arrangements for the course(s).

Rockhurst University's ADV coursework is equivalent to introductory college courses but is offered at a significantly lower cost. This program allows students to get a jump start on their college coursework, as these courses are highly transferable to many colleges and universities.

For more information about ADV, contact your high school's dual credit coordinator or the Rockhurst University ACCP/ADV Coordinator.

There is a set payment deadline determined each semester by the ACCP/ADV Coordinator. This deadline will be posted under "ADV Application and Deadlines" at the start of each semester, along with being communicated directly to students via email. If an ADV payment is not submitted by the deadline indicated, a hold will be placed on the student's account, restricting them from enrolling in future terms at RU and from obtaining their official RU transcript.
