Dual Credit Policy

Policy Statement

Dual credit exists when both a high school and a college/university award credit to a high school student for the same course. Dual Credit is restricted to juniors and seniors meeting the following criteria:

• Meet required ACT and/or COMPASS scores, as well as pre-requisites, in order to enroll by August 1st of each school year

• Sign the parent/student dual credit contract

• Have Principal or designee approval

Juniors and seniors who qualify for dual credit may leave school to take a college class to count as dual credit.

Approved dual credit classes shall count for graduation requirements. All other dual credit classes shall count as electives.

Students who enroll in dual credit coursework should check with the college/university to insure dual credits will be accepted.

Any expenses, tuition, book, etc. shall be the responsibility of the student.

Students passing a dual credit course will receive a weighted .5 quality point on their final grade.
