Welcome to Dual Credit
2013 - 2014
Dual Credit allows high school students to earn both high school and college credit by completing college-level courses while in class (or on a computer if you are a virtual dual credit student) at KHS. As a college student, you automatically have access to the Lone Star College-Kingwood resources, such as tutoring, computer lab and library services, and various seminars.
The responsibility for applying online, arranging and taking required testing, meeting deadlines, and paying the appropriate fees is yours, as any college student taking a college course. It is important to remember that these courses are COLLEGE COURSES offered at the high school. The expectation of work load and academic challenge are college level. Remember that a student is permanently removed from the dual credit program if a final grade in any course is a D or lower. See the chart on page 5 for courses offered, credits, and tuition costs.
The Dual Credit Coordinator for KHS is Ms. Jeri Fasold at 281-641-6976 in Room 4405. You can find dual credit info on the KHS website, Our School tab, Counselors link, Dual Credit link.
The Dual Credit Coordinator at Lone Star College-Kingwood is Ms. Linda Deal at 281-312-1509 or Linda.D.Deal@lonestar.edu in the Student Conference Center.
Access the LSC-K website at lonestar.edu/dualcredit for a detailed explanation of the Dual Credit Program.
Return to this site and follow the directions on page 2 regarding dual credit registration procedures for KHS.
KHS DUAL CREDIT REGISTRATION PROCESS STEP BY STEP FOR 2013-2014
1. COMPLETE THE ONLINE ADMISSIONS APPLICATION
Refer to the Online Admissions Application Instructions on page 3. This step does not enroll a student in any College class but creates a myLoneStar account necessary for all Lone Star College-Kingwood students. From this site students access placement test scores and schedules, make payments, and eventually see grades and send transcripts.
The Online Admissions Application must be completed before any placement testing!
2. COMPLETE TESTING FOR COLLEGE-LEVEL PLACEMENT
Lone Star College-Kingwood offers the COMPASS or ACCUPLACER exams (both on computer) for free. A fee of $10.00 is charged for re-testing any section. Go to the Admissions Office in the Student Conference Center any day Monday – Thursday immediately after school to obtain a test referral form. Proceed to the Testing Center upstairs to test. You will leave with the scores in hand. Call 281-312-1476 for more information regarding testing times. Refer to the Placement/TSI Scores List on page 4 to review required minimum scores and acceptable testing formats.
***Always take the following items when you test: photo ID, SS#, #2 pencils and TI83/84 calculator.
**Testing on Saturday is an option but necessitates a trip sometime Monday-Friday to pick up the form that allows you upstairs to test. The office that gives that form is not open on Saturday.
LSC has finals May 6-10. Avoid these dates. Also, LSC is closed March 11-16 and March 29-30.
3. SUBMIT TEST SCORES AND EXCEPTIONAL ADMISSION FORM
Bring test scores to Ms. Fasold in Room 4405. Student and parent will then sign an Exceptional Admission Form that Ms. Fasold will submit to Lone Star. Scores of tests completed at the College can always be found on your myLoneStar account.
The deadline for this step is May 31, 2013 – before finals!
4. MAKE PAYMENT
In July, check your myLoneStar account to confirm that your schedule is entered and make payment. Payment can be made either online at lonestar.edu via your myLoneStar account or at the LSC-K Business Office in the Student Conference Center. A payment reminder is only sent to your myLoneStar e-mail account.
Payment is due July 31, 2013.
No student is officially enrolled in the Dual Credit Program until payment is made.
