Welcome Students & Parents Dual Credit Welcome Students & Parents

WHAT is Dual Credit? ACC HS Program that allows eligible high school students residing in the ACC service area to enroll in college level classes. . Cost/Waiver Structure: Students receive a total of 12 individual course attempts/waivers, after which regular tuition & fees are assessed. Note: the Dual Credit program tuition/fees waiver is subject to change by the ACC Board of Trustees. . Beginning Fall 2019, Dual Credit students are restricted, and the tuition & fees waiver is only applicable, to courses on the ACC Core Curriculum, a Workforce Degree/Certificate, and Foreign Languages (to include ASL) – Senate Bill 1091

What Dual Credit ISN’T… What Dual Credit ISN’T… *Dual Credit courses are college courses with college faculty! Advanced Placement (AP) HS course Taught by HS teacher College Board curriculum Credit-by-exam (AP test) Cost for test Must earn a certain score to potentially receive college credit No TSI required Dual Enrollment (OnRamps) Students enroll in HS course Course taught by HS teacher and supported by UT faculty Students can earn credit for nothing, HS course only, or potentially both HS and college credit If college credit earned it is denoted on a UT transcript No TSI required

Types of Dual Credit Dual Credit – Students complete a college course that meets ISD-approved graduation requirements (ex. HIST-1302 or GOVT-2305). Co-Enrollment – Students complete a college course and only receive college credit… The class is not needed for high school graduation (ex. GOVT-2306).

WHO is Eligible? Students who have successfully completed 8th grade and attend either a public, private, charter, or home school. Students who have passed the appropriate sections of the State of Texas-approved college readiness assessment test (TSI-A) or submit acceptable exemption scores. *Please see the list of state-approved TSI waivers & exemptions in the HS Programs Enrollment Guidebook Students who have received permission from their parent/guardian and high school counselor/designee.

WHERE are Classes Offered? DC Students may take classes at their high school campus before, during, and after the school day (where offered). DC Students may also take classes at any ACC Campus, Center location, or via Distance Learning (online).

WHY Take DC Classes? Save $$$ (potentially 1yr+ of college!). Earn both high school and college credit. Gain college-level experience while in high school. Stand out on college admission applications. Graduate from college early or reduce semester course load.

2018-2019

College Vs. High School Students pay for textbooks/required materials. College classes can/will require a different level of work than high school classes. Also, different structure! Course content and student expectations are not altered in any way to accommodate students under 18 years of age College courses & Instructors = Academic Freedom Students are responsible for dropping/withdrawing from classes or they will receive a grade. Not attending class will not automatically drop you! ACC issues final letter grades only (A, B, C, D, F, and W)

College Vs. High School ACC information goes directly to the student via the students ACCmail account. Dual Credit students have access to all the services provided by ACC, i.e. Learning Labs, Libraries, Testing Centers, etc. Parents are not automatically entitled to see student records, including absences, grades, and course progress due to federal privacy law (FERPA).

Student Success & Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Student success is extremely important. College records are permanent and will follow students to colleges and universities upon high school graduation. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (“C” or better in all ACC classes) -and- they must complete 67% of all classes attempted (No F’s or W’s) Students who do not meet SAP may not be eligible for financial aid upon high school graduation until GPA and Completion Rate meet federal requirements. Courses failed and/or dropped with a ‘W’ count towards SAP Failure to meet SAP requirements will affect financial aid eligibility once the student graduates from HS and attends a 2yr/4yr college or university

The Good News… Dual Credit students do better than traditional students in terms of mean GPA and have better persistence from semester-to-semester. ACC credits transfer seamlessly to Texas public colleges and universities. U.S. History at ACC = U.S. History at UT, TAMU, TX State, etc. ACC credits can transfer widely to Texas private colleges, as well as out-of-state public & private colleges/universities. 1.) comes from the Dual Credit at Texas Completes Cadre Colleges - October 2018.
