What is Dual Credit?

Dual Credit vs Concurrent Credit

Dual credit is earning college credit at the same time you are earning high school credit (example: English 4 is English 1301 and 1302)

Concurrent Credit is earning college credit only, while still considered a high school student (example: Taking Biology 1301, after already taking high school biology class for credit)

TSDS – Texas Student Data System

Yearly Data Standards by TEA

ND Scheduling

If you enroll in and pay for a DC Class, you must provide the receipt of

registration and payment to the counselor, so that the course can be

added to the student’s 17-18 schedule.

If course is required for HS Graduation, you must pass it through DC or

you will do Credit Recovery (including EOC testing).

Drops “D” and Withdrawn “W” classes from the College/University will

result in you doing a Credit Recovery Course (Elective and Core) – you

must notify the school counselor immediately upon withdrawing or

dropping a dual credit course, so your schedule can be adjusted to

minimize loss of credit.
