High School Students Enrolled in Dual Credit Programs (Archived)

Dual Credit Programs are instructional partnerships between a public school district, a private secondary school or a home school and the college. Concurrent course credit is provided to high school students for both high school and college credit. College credit may be for certificate or associate degree programs.

Eligibility requirements:

  • To enroll in courses for an associate degree or level-two certificate (TASP eligible) program, you must present a passing score on TASP or the alternative assessment in at least one area (reading, writing, or math) as deemed applicable by the college for the intended course in which you wish to enroll. If you are exempt from TASP, you are also exempt from local assessment for the purposes of dual course credit. Public school students wishing to enroll in level-one certificate (TASP waived) programs must have met TAAS standards by passing all sections of the exit-level TAAS or through end-of-course exams.
  • High school students are generally limited to enrolling in two dual credit courses per semester. You may be permitted to enroll in more than two courses if recommended to do so by your high school principal or appropriate home school "official" and under one of the following conditions:
    • Achieve a minimum GPA of 3.00 on at least two college courses taken in previous semesters; or
    • Prove you have passed all sections of TASP or the Alternative assessment; or
    • Prove your eligibility to be TASP exempt based upon TAAS, ACT, or SAT as approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. (Note: these score standards are often altered by the THECB and the currently approved scores must be used.)
  • High school students must meet all appropriate admissions criteria to the college.
  • High school students must fulfill all prerequisite requirements to enrolling in a dual credit course.
