Dual Credit
Dual credit is a program that allows high school students to enroll in college-level courses offered by a post-secondary institution that may be academic or career-technical but not remedial or developmental. Dual enrollment allows students to simultaneously earn credit toward high school graduation and a post-secondary degree or certificate (Statewide Dual Credit Master Agreement). Students receive one high school credit for each 3-5 college credit class completed. Some courses require placement exams. Dual Credit courses do not receive weighted credit (with the exception of AP courses that are also dual credit).
