The Dual Credit
Program allows a student to enroll in a community college to earn
college level credit while at the same time fulfilling high school
academic requirements. These courses are offered at local and
area High School campuses. The college makes the final determination on all admissions
to their courses. If the student does not pass a dual credit or
dual participation course that is required for graduation, the
student will not receive credit.
Dual Credit grades count in the student’s
GPA or ranking.
San

Sophomore, Junior and Senior Level students may enroll in dual

college and high school credit concurrently. Some courses are
offered on the high school campus, and some courses are offered
