DUAL/CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT (HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS)
Dual credit refers to the process by which a high school student enrolls in a college
course and receives simultaneous credit for the course from both the college and the
high school. Concurrent enrollment refers to the process by which an eligible high
school student enrolls in college-level academic or technical courses while still
enrolled in high school and receives college credit without receiving high school
credit for these courses. Dual credit and concurrent courses include both academic
courses as well as technical courses.
High school students residing in the TVCC service area may be eligible to receive
dual credit toward high school graduation for successfully completing TVCC core
curriculum courses, workforce education courses or foreign language courses. Dual
credit courses can be offered at the high school campus during regular high school
hours, via embedded instruction, internet, ITV or on any of the TVCC campuses.
High school students may enroll in academic transfer dual credit courses once they
have met the following requirements:
•
successfully completed their sophomore year of high school;
•
received permission from their parent/guardian and high school
counselor;
•
completed all TVCC admissions requirements and prerequisites for
courses they wish to take;
•
met the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements;
•
completed all required placement tests prior to enrollment.
High school students may enroll in TVCC workforce education dual credit courses
once they have met aforementioned requirements. However, enrollment in
workforce education dual credit courses merely requires students to take the TSI
Assessment and not pass it.
