Dual Credit Courses
Juniors and seniors can take two dual credit courses.
Grades for dual credit are reflected on the high school transcript AND the college transcript. Credits are transferable to any Texas public university.
Dual Credit courses are taught on the high school campus by the high school teacher and may be taught concurrently with AP courses.
Dual Credit Courses
Courses are more academically challenging than traditional high school courses, will include different requirements for each course, and will result in a SEPARATE college grade for each course.
Grades earned in dual credit become part of the PERMANENT ACADEMIC RECORD and will be recorded on the college transcript. Students must attend their Dual Credit class regularly and may be withdrawn for lack of attendance and/or lack of progress.
Students who make a D or an F in a Dual Credit class will not be allowed to continue in the Dual Credit program.
A D or F or dropping a course could affect later financial aid.
Dual Credit Courses
Students are responsible for knowing and adhering to the drop deadlines for withdrawal on the Alamo Colleges Academic calendar (should his/her grade fall below a C).
If a student plagiarizes a paper or colludes or cheats in any dual credit class, the student will be subject to the discipline policies and procedures of the college; severe cases may result in failure of the course and suspension from the dual credit program.
