    Dual Credit Information

    Dual credit gives eligible high school students the opportunity to enroll in college classes for credit prior to high school graduation making the credits part of both the student’s permanent college record and high school transcript. Instructors for dual credit courses must meet the requirements to teach at both the high school and collegiate levels. The greatest benefit of dual credit is that students accumulate college credits which assist in graduating college on-time or early.
