Earn College Credit While in High School

 

When a student enrolls in Advanced Placement, Running Start, or Tech Prep, he or she may earn dual credit – high school and college credit – after meeting specific criteria such as successfully completing the same course, demonstrating technical competencies, or passing an exam.  
 

Dual credit helps students:

 

  • transition smoothly from high school to college
  • reduce duplication of courses in a program of study
  • shorten time-to-completion of a degree or certificate
  • save money

How Dual Credit works:

 

  • The student enrolls in their high school  or college course
  • The student completes the requirements of the course
  • The student submits college grades to the high school for high school credit
  • The student submits documentation to the college they wish to attend for review
  • The college reviews the documentation and determines what credits will be awarded based on the individual college’s policy
