Dual Admission vs. Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment

"Dual Admission" means applying to one of Hill College’s university partners while a student at Hill College. Dual Admission status allows a student to be both a Hill College student and a university student. A student must have completed 12 semester hours at Hill College to be eligible for Dual Admission with one of Hill College’s University Partners below:

"Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment" is simply taking college classes while still in high school, either at your high school, online, or at a college campus. Please note that you can have “Dual Credit” and “Dual Admission” status simultaneously, provided you have completed the 12 semester hours at Hill College. You must remain in good standing, and meet the transfer requirements at the time of transfer to one of our university partners.
