Information:
Dual Credit is a process by which a high school student enrolls in a college course and receives simultaneous academic credit for the course from both the college and the high school. While Dual Credit courses are often taught on the secondary school campus, a high school student can also take a course on any of our campuses and receive both high school and college credit. Students interested in taking Dual Credit classes should speak with their high school counselor.
Dual Credit courses include both academic courses as well as career/technical courses. These courses are stepping stones from high school to college, serving as a path to academic degree programs or college level workforce education courses. Check with your high school counselor for course listings. Grades received in Dual Credit courses are part of the student's permanent college record.
Dual Credit courses are for students in high school who demonstrate college readiness by achieving the minimum passing standards under the provisions of the state of Texas. Refer to the TSI exemptions and waivers under the general tab.
