LVHS DUAL CREDIT What? Who? How? Why?

WHAT IS DUAL CREDIT (DC)? DC is a voluntary program in which qualified junior and senior students may enroll in courses that receive both college and high school credit. LVISD partners with St. Philip’s College (SPC), an Alamo Community College (ACC), to provide the program.

WHAT? Students earn transferable college credit hours. Public and state colleges and universities usually accept DC hours. DO NOT ASSUME THAT DC HOURS WILL TRANSFER. CHECK WITH THE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY.

WHAT? The acceptance of the hours as core or elective hours is up to the discretion of the college. DC is not offered during the summer.

WHO? HOW? ELIGIBLE JUNIORS AND SENIORS ELIBILITY REQUIREMENTS –Completion and submission of enrollment packet to Ms. Braun; –Completion of Apply Texas application. Apply Texas will be completed at school under Ms. Braun’s supervision.

HOW? Completion of ACC “ Go FAARR” and practice TSI test. These activities will be completed at school under the supervision of Ms. Braun. Qualifying scores on tests accepted by ACC: –ACT scores; –SAT scores; or –Texas Success Initiative (TSI) scores.

HOW? TSI Testing: –Administered on Saturdays –Dates: January 16, January 30, February 13, February 27, March 5 (Yes, I know it is stock show weekend. Sign up early to secure a January or February Saturday test date.) –No cost for initial exam –Retakes: $5 for each exam area

WHY? BENEFITS? Courses earn both high school and college credits. TUITION FREE! Student must only purchase text for class. Students can earn up to 28 hours of transferable college work.

GRADES DC grades are weighted. Eight (8) points are added to the semester numeric grade average (NGA) only. The NGA is used to establish class rank. The transcript does not reflect the extra points. Students earning a final grade lower than a “C” in a DC course will be permanently dropped from the DC program as soon as the grade is reported.

GRADES DC course grades are permanent grades reflected on both the high school AND college transcript. DC letter grades will be converted to the following numeric grades on the transcript: A= 95B= 85 C=75 D= 70F= 65

COURSE DELIVERY Course instruction is delivered in one of two ways: On Campus Instruction: On campus courses are taught on the LVHS campus by LVHS teachers who are qualified as adjunct instructors through ACC.

COURSE DELIVERY Online Instruction: –Some DC courses are taught over the internet. All instruction and interaction with the professor is done online. –Because the course is a college course, the Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws deny parent access to professors and/or grades. –NOTE: Students are required to print their online course grades for LVHS so that grades can recorded for LVHS transcript. –Online students MUST be self disciplined and mature.

COURSE DELIVERY The professor teaching an online course may or may not know that a student enrolled in the course is a high school student. The course requirements and expectations are those required and expected of every college student. Students enrolled in online courses are assigned a DC Computer Lab period for each course taken. Students have the time and opportunity to complete and submit their work during the computer lab period.
