Dual Credit

Dual Credit

Dual credit allows high school students to earn college credit while enrolled in high school.  In some cases, students may earn dual credit for a course and receive both high school and college credit simultaneously. Students earn credit by taking an approved college class offered at a high school, the AC campus, or online. Our students can choose to take courses designed to transfer to a four-year college/university or technical courses designed to contribute to a workforce or health science program.

Eligibility Requirements

Student must have the approval of the high school counselor if enrolled in a public Texas ISD.

If taking classes on the Lufkin campus, students must have proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination or a waiver on file.

Students must meet Texas Success Initiative (TSI) eligibility requirements for college-level coursework or be exempt based on alternative test scores (SAT/ACT/STAAR). For more information on the TSI, please click HERE.
